i intend to use JSON to implement a client server communication. My goal is for a Java-server to receive data via HTTP-Post from an Iphone-app.
I’m concerned about the fact of how I can be sure, that the data the Java-server receives only come from the Iphone-app? It may be possible that somebody else is catching the Java-Server URL and send rigged data?
Do I have a chance to recognize that? SSL encrypts transferred data only, but doesn’t solve the problem, i think.
kind regards

You could send a token that is hardcoded into your application. Everything that comes without this valid toke should be rejected. Or you can use .htaccess and specify a user and password within your app.
