Application Hardening for Mobile Payment Providers

Payment providers face relentless client-side attacks targeting the mobile applications that move money as well as the SDKs embedded downstream.

Digital.ai App Hardening protects both mobile payment apps and SDKs with layered, MPoC‑aligned defenses that preserve runtime integrity, safeguard cryptographic assets, and reduce fraud risk across every deployment.

Payment Ecosystem Risks

mobile_risk_alert_icon
Partner Distribution Expands Attack Surface

Payment SDKs are distributed across partner and merchant apps, increasing risk in environments outside of your control.

End-user Apps Are Relentlessly Tampered With

Client-side apps run in hostile environments, where attackers can bypass controls or manipulate transactions at runtime.

Compliance Requirements Are Raising the Security Bar

EMVCo and PCI MPoC requirements demand stronger protections that actively resist tampering, analysis, and key extraction.

Secure Mobile Payments with Digital.ai

Protect SDKs Without Rework

Secure payment SDKs before distribution to app makers. Protect proprietary logic, embedded controls, and sensitive code paths without forcing development teams to rewrite applications or change release processes.

Harden Apps Post-build

Apply protections during the post-build process, so teams can secure payment apps late in the lifecycle. This reduces friction, preserves developer workflows, and helps speed deployment across mobile and other client-side environments.

Support EMVCo and MPoC Goals

Help payment providers align with EMVCo and MPoC expectations for application integrity, runtime protection, and resistance to tampering. Strengthen the security posture of payment apps operating on commercial off-the-shelf devices.

Defend Against Reverse Engineering

Obfuscation, anti-tamper, and anti-analysis protections make payment apps and SDKs harder to study, modify, and misuse. This helps prevent exposure of sensitive logic, transaction workflows, and implementation details that attackers or partners could exploit.

Monitor Threats in the Field

Runtime detection and threat telemetry provide visibility into attacks against protected payment apps. Security teams can see where protections are firing, understand attack patterns, and improve defenses based on real-world threat activity.

We Are FIPS Validated

NIST FIPS 140-3 is the U.S. and Canadian government standard for validating the security of cryptographic modules. Certification confirms that encryption functions meet rigorous, independently tested requirements. For financial institutions, this validation provides assurance that protected data, keys, and cryptographic operations meet trusted, regulator-recognized security benchmarks.

 

FIPS 140-3 is technically harmonized with ISO/IEC 19790, which defines international security requirements for cryptographic modules. In other words, FIPS 140-3 is the U.S./Canada adoption of the same core standard that ISO/IEC 19790 specifies globally.
