Apex developed apps vulnerability as a Browser based framework

Eslam_ElbyalyApr 1 2019 — edited Apr 3 2019

Hi,

Apex 18.2.

I am new to browser based application development frameworks. but I can see that every value on the client side can be manipulated with through inspecting elements. Even read only, disabled and hidden elements. Which enforces me to do everything on the server side I.e calculations. Which of course would have a negative impact on performance. Calculations is just one example but the bottom line is I can't trust the client side at all. Is there a solution for that? Is "protect value" attribute has to do with this problem?

I believe this problem is not Apex specific but browser based frameworks' and I wander how Apex can handle this?
