Hello.

I have been reading a couple of threads for this topic on this site. I want to create an App, which communicates with a server and has the following features:

• the User can create/manage an account on the server
• the App communicates with the server via a secure connection
• the User is updated about important news through messages

From what I understood so far, I need to take care of the following:

• establish a secure connection with the server
• send account information(user data, password) to the server and authenticate the client side
• management and encryption of account data/information is handled by the server, so the App only sends data, the server stores/encrypts (no need for me to take care of anything)

So far, I think, I have covered the most important features. I have read, that NSURLConnection can be used, to send the authentication data. But how is further communication ensured? And how is the encryption managed?

Are there any useful tutorials on this, because this is the first time I delve into this topic, and any guidance is greatly appreciated!

Also, if I have missed anything important (e.g. with managing accounts) please tell me.
