How to secure Data IonicV1 services

Question

Hi I have implemented an app in Ionic v1 with Symfony2 as server side.

the communication between app and server is being made by post ajax request.

I want to make secure the request services data in network which is posted from app to Symfony2.

//Login services request

{role: "ROLE PARENT", user: "8557988004", password: "12872"}

//response

MessageId: 1, email: "[email protected]", name: "SATNAM SINGH HANSRA", roleName: "ROLE PARENT"}

I have some other pages in my app where I need to process payment as well.So can you please guide me how can I make each service data secure so that no one can tamper it.Because by default ionic convert each services in ajax using $http.post.

Thanks advance

You will probably need to use some sort of Authentication in the headers. Have a look at Basic Auth as an example.

For a client to be able to make the http request they will require a username and password.

Of course this requires a server side implementation as well but unfortunately I am not familiar with symfony, so I'm afraid you will have eto dig in yourself :)

For making sure the data in the request has not been tampered, you can use a message authentication code. This can be implemented in several ways but here is a link that will get you familiar with the concept:
