Preparation steps
Before you can shield your applications with the OneSpan Mobile Portal, the following steps must be completed:
If you have never used the portal before, set up your OneSpan Mobile Portal account.
A project contains the necessary elements to shield your application such as the app platform (Android or iOS), configuration options, and the version of App Shielding.
Create a project configuration and shield your application.
In the configuration of a project you specify the configuration options for your shieldings to fit your application’s security needs.

In addition, the portal enforces stricter input validation for the creation of user names and project names and descriptions.
Project names and descriptions
