The work of (Tendulkar & Enck, 2014) and of (Clark & van Oorschot, 2013) investigated the challenges faced by application developers when implementing SSL and performing SSL verification in smartphone applications. Both papers highlighted the usage of SSL Pinning as a means to mitigate MiTM attacks. However, the authors also pointed out that due to lack of documentation, application developers often misuse SSL P inning and as a result, the applications are rendered more vulnerable to MiTM attacks.
