Last-mile Security for gRPC-connected mobile APIs

EVALUATING GRPC REQUEST-RESPONSE, AUTHENTICATION, AND STREAMING

gRPC is an open source remote procedure call (RPC) framework that runs across many different client and server platforms. It commonly uses protocol buffers (protobufs) to efficiently serialize structured data for communication, and it is used extensively in distributed and microservice-based systems.

Beginning in July 2018 with the 68 release, Chrome began marking all sites not running HTTPS (TLS over HTTP) as “not secure”. TLS uses site certificates to establish a chain of trust and encrypt communication at the transport layer.
