Overview of the SDK

Features of the SDK

The Network Security SDK is a client SDK and detects whether the mobile device on which a mobile banking app resides is connected to an insecure network or is actively using a VPN connection.

Network security status

On Android, the SDK exposes getCurrentNetworkInfo() taking in a callback which gets the NetworkInfoData object. On iOS, the SDK exposes the asynchronous getCurrentNetworkInfo method which returns the NetworkInfo object. These objects expose the various parameters that are important for the network security, like isSecure, vpnConnectionStatus etc.

Insecure network detection

An insecure network can be detected by checking the isSecure parameter of the network information data objects. To retrieve the details about the VPN connection, the vpnConnectionStatus parameter can be used. This parameter shows if there is an active VPN connection and, if found, provides a list of tunneling protocols used by this VPN connection.

Notification about network changes

On Android, the SDK exposes two methods to register and unregister a callback to get notified about network changes, registerNetworkChangeListener and unregisterNetworkChangeListener.

On iOS, the SDK exposes the getNetworkInfoChangesStream method which returns an AsyncStream of network changes which can be used to watch for updates.
