But here’s the thing: You can’t just implement something on an Android device and expect everything to be secure. Unfortunately, even with robust security measures in place, apps can still get compromised.

So what do we need to do? We need to make sure that even if hackers gain access to our data, they can’t make any sense of it. That’s where encryption comes in — specifically, Asymmetric encryption.

In today’s article, we’ll be learning how to encrypt network traffic so that even with a man-in-the-middle attack (i.e., network interception), our data remains encrypted and useless to the attacker.
