University researchers say developers often store authentication keys in Android apps on Google Play. The keys are used in making secure connections between apps and servers they communicate with. If criminals get the keys, they could decrypt information the app stores on a remote server. Google has been notified of the problem, but has not responded to a request for comment. Experts say app developers are notorious for reducing their workload by cutting corners on security by getting the app out to market as quick as possible trumps better protection for users.”]
