Abstract
Techniques to facilitate detection of real user interaction with mobile applications are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, a mobile application that generates a web service request is executed on a wireless communication device. The wireless communication device executes a client security component of the mobile application to include user behavior attributes in the web service request, and utilizes a mobile application programming interface to transfer the web service request including the user behavior attributes for delivery to a web server. The web server executes a server security component of a web service to extract the user behavior attributes from the web service request and process the user behavior attributes to determine whether or not the mobile application is being operated by a human user.
