VERIFY GENUINE APPS AND REACT IN REAL TIME

MASC ASSURANCE CAPABILITIES

• Assurance and challenge protocols

  MASC Assurance provides a cryptographic challenge and verification layer between mobile apps and backends. It helps bind an app instance to a device, verifies that requests originate from a genuine and untampered app, and exposes a simple decision interface that upstream APIs and risk engines can consume.

  Capabilities:

  Device Binding: Establishes a binding between an app instance and a device using modern key establishment patterns (e.g., ECDHE-based; PQC‑ready options may be available depending on deployment requirements) to reduce cloning and replay.

  Challenge/Response Verification: Verifies app authenticity and integrity at interaction time - helping backends distinguish genuine app traffic from manipulated or automated clients.

• Reaction Engine

  The Reaction Engine is the policy layer inside MASC Assurance that turns security signals into concrete outcomes. It lets you define how backends should respond to different risk conditions - from soft restrictions to full blocking - without requiring constant app redeploys for policy changes. Reactions can be validated in staging and promoted with approvals so changes are controlled and auditable.

  Capabilities:

  • Define Outcomes: Pass, block, report, or controlled crash (as appropriate to your UX/risk model).
  • Policy Aggregation: Target reactions by API endpoint, user segment, geography, device posture, or risk‑engine scoring.
  • Token/Key Actions for Compromised Instances: Revoke tokens, invalidate sessions, or trigger key rotation workflows when compromise is detected.

  Safe Change Management:

  Simulate in staging, promote with approvals, rollback when needed, and retain audit logs of policy changes

• Integration and deployment

  MASC Assurance is designed for enterprise backend environments and common deployment patterns.

  • Topology: On‑prem or cloud, with horizontal scaling support
  • Crypto: Optional HSM integration for hardware‑protected keys and customer governance
  • Interfaces: HTTP APIs for verification and telemetry
  • Datastores: Support for common datastores (e.g., SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Amazon Aurora, Apache Derby  -  full matrix available on request)
  • SIEM/SOAR: Exporters and accelerators available for common SOC workflows

• Health messages and audit visibility

  Assurance can centralize encrypted health and security telemetry to help teams understand mobile posture over time and support audit evidence workflows.

  • Centralized encrypted logs for integration with analytics and insights platforms
  • SIEM/SOC integration for correlation, alerting, and investigation workflows
  • Control mappings available (on request): PCI DSS 4.0, PCI MPoC, DORA, eIDAS, OWASP MASVS

   

  

• Data handling and residency

  MASC Assurance is designed for privacy-first, regulated deployments.

  • PII minimization by default (avoid user-centric telemetry where not required)
  • Regional deployment options (cloud or on‑prem) to support residency requirements
  • Customer‑managed keys supported when paired with HSM governance models
