Mobile Application:Secure URL and AccessToken

Hi,

I am new to Salesforce. I am developing a mobile application using jquery mobile. In my application, I am sending a url and access token to retrieve data from the salesforce. How do i protect this url and access token. How do people try to hack this url and access token during security review?

There's nowhere in the webview layer that is secure enough to store the access token or refresh token, so I would strongly recommend starting with the Salesforce Mobile SDK, as it handles all of the auth stuff for you:

There's no real reason to worry about securiing the API URL's as they're all publicly documented.
