I've been creating a program that will log into a given paypal account and then navigate to the activities page to pull all the transactions on that list to be displayed in a table. However, I'm wondering if the credentials of the user that's logging in will be secure or not. Paypal of course uses HTTPs/SSL etc. but my question is do I need to provide a certificate of my own? If not then will the user name and password still be as safe as if I was using my normal chrome browser? Would distributing this app make the login credentials insecure (past the inherit ability to find them in the source code). It says here <http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/110621/ssl-newbie-does-https-client-also-need-a-certificate> that I don't need to have one on my side but I'd just like to be absolutely sure. ~ Thank you in advance. |
