Description
Secure API Keys with Public-Key Cryptography on Android In this short-length course I will teach you how to store API keys securely in your Android app, without exposing them to the public. With the help of public key cryptography, Android Keystore system, encrypted shared preferences, and our own backend server, you will achieve exactly that. Public key cryptography, also known as asymmetric cryptography, is a cryptographic approach that uses key pairs: public key and private key. Each key pair consists of a public key and a private key that are mathematically related but one cannot be derived from the other. This approach will help us to exchange data securely between the client and the server. The API keys will initially be stored securely on our backend server.
Before sending it back to the client, the server and client will exchange public keys to encrypt the data. This way we can ensure that no one can read the actual data exchanged. Only our Android application will hold the private key to decrypt the data, and will store the API key securely on the device. The Android Keystore system is a part of the Android operating system that provides a secure storage facility for cryptographic keys, certificates, and related information. It is designed to protect sensitive data, such as private keys used for encryption and authentication, from unauthorized access. I will provide you with some more detailed information about the Keystore system and how it works. We will use that system to securely store the public key pair that is going to be generated for us.
