Case Study
ABC Company observes that the confidentiality of their workers is
compromised while using the eservices provided by the partner
company. Further investigation has highlighted that whenever a user
uses their unified profiles to access the partner’s company
services from the relevant mobile application, their
confidentiality is compromised and data theft patterns are
observed. The situation is alarming and makes them focus on how the
mobile application that gives access to partner’s eservices are
vulnerable. Further investigation is done in this regard and it is

confidentiality is being compromised. This may mean that the
gateway at either one of the party’s end has already been compromised. Further

common reusable APIs used in their mobile application. It is also
noted that the same mobile application is working fine for the
internal accessible services but start malfunctioning when partner
company’s eservices are accessed. A team of researchers is hired to
establish a framework of utilizing the known reusable component for
unified service consumption from multiple sources considering the
