10. Why Mobile?
1.1 billion smartphones in the world
At the height of Internet bubble, there were only 28
million broadband users 10

11. The Future: Mobile, Social, and Collaborative..
 Growing demand to use the latest technology
 Increasing trend towards "bring your own device"
 Clients expect a mobile experience (smart phones,
 By 2013, 80% of businesses will support a workforce
using tablets for anytime, anywhere service. *
 By 2014, 90% of organizations will support corporate
applications on personal devices. *
 Online/mobile/social is creating new opportunities to
enrich interactions

14. People and information are rarely co-located
14

15. What is your mobile strategy?
 One size does not fit all
 Native, hybrid or mobile web – depends on use case
- Native costs are much higher
- Hybrid (HTML5) security
- Mobile web extends reach to more devices
 Platforms
- iOS, Android, Windows
- Devices – Phone or tablet
 Backend support
 Security
 Distribution Approach

16. Challenges in Mobile App development
 Ease of use of mobile phones and tablets creates
impression of simplicity
 Platform & Technology fragmentation
 “Consumer” expectations are high
 Time to market pressure “to be in the game”
 Integration with existing systems
 HTML5 security
 Secure document handling
16

17. Integration Challenges
 Not all Enterprise back-ends are mobile ready
 Re-use of corporate assets is mandatory
- Changing systems is not realistic
 Securely exposing Enterprise assets via REST
 Expensive, time consuming and tedious work
 Ongoing support and maintenance

REST request (Post, Get, …)
REST response (JSON or XML)

Server
RestXpress:
Creates SOAP request and
invokes Web Service
Parses SOAP response and
converts it to JSON or XML
RestXpress:
Sends SQL statement to DB
Parses returned dataset and
converts it to JSON or XML

19. Security Challenges – HTML5 (hybrid) apps
 Hybrid apps are the best way to write once run
anywhere.
 Generic hybrid app is exposed to all sorts of security
threats. Namely code, data at rest/transit.
 There is currently no generic or platform specific
solution on the market.
 HTML5 app source code (HTML5, JS, CSS) is not secure
 Web browser content and data storage not secure.

21. Security Challenges – Secure Document handling
21
Wolters Kluwer Demo
• Develop additional security framework for iOS as
extension creating security for web cache & cookie files
on iOS devices.
• Store any document in the security storage to access it
in offline mode.
• Security storage utilizes AES-256 CBC encryption on
1024 bytes long pages for web cache (and 4096 bytes
long pages for files)
• This security framework can be used with any hybrid
application based on iOS.
• Web sources will be on the private web server and use
client authentication.
