From a server perspective, you can perform additional checks in order
to make sure the client is able to perform a specific operation or retrieve data.
From a mobile perspective, I think depends how the mobile app is
storing sensitive data by using secure/encrypted storage. I think Aerogear is addressing
this ...

Subject: Re: [security-dev] Entitlements Concept
Am I right assuming that mobile application will pick one entitlement from collection of
entitlements in hand and use it in request
getting a resource/data from service provider?
In case mobile app already has the data and using entitlements locally, what prevent
anybody of modifying the mobile app and render
whatever he wants from the local data?
Or I am wrong and mobile app will download entitlements and then based on them will ask
for data which are covered by entitlements
in hand.

The idea is if rather than make 100 enforcement (Access Checks), you
make one call and download
the entitlements and then do local authorization checks.
As an example, there is a mobile phone that has a rich native app. It
connects to a server and downloads
the entitlements on the fly. That way it can make local decisions as to
what the permissions are, rather than
make individual server access checks. Useful in environments such as
financial apps.
