I am developing a chat application using Quickblox SDK. I have been asked to hash user's password using MD5 when sending requests to server (login, signup ,modify profile ...). But i want to know if this is necessary since it may have been implemented in the SDK itself. I have been searching through Quickblox documentation but i did not find any hint about data security.
Should i hash password when sending requests? Does Quickblox SDK handle password hashing when it comes to requests exchanging between client and server?
Quickblox uses HTTPS encryption for all requests, you can see this by looking into debug console.
