Remarks

Specification of how a key or key pair is secured when imported into the Android Keystore system. This class specifies authorized uses of the imported key, such as whether user authentication is required for using the key, what operations the key is authorized for (e.g., decryption, but not signing) with what parameters (e.g., only with a particular padding scheme or digest), and the key's validity start and end dates. Key use authorizations expressed in this class apply only to secret keys and private keys -- public keys can be used for any supported operations.

To import a key or key pair into the Android Keystore, create an instance of this class using the Builder and pass the instance into java.security.KeyStore#setEntry(String, java.security.KeyStore.Entry, ProtectionParameter) KeyStore.setEntry with the key or key pair being imported.

To obtain the secret/symmetric or private key from the Android Keystore use java.security.KeyStore#getKey(String, char[]) KeyStore.getKey(String, null) or java.security.KeyStore#getEntry(String, java.security.KeyStore.ProtectionParameter) KeyStore.getEntry(String, null). To obtain the public key from the Android Keystore use java.security.KeyStore#getCertificate(String) and then Certificate#getPublicKey().

To help obtain algorithm-specific public parameters of key pairs stored in the Android Keystore, its private keys implement java.security.interfaces.ECKey or java.security.interfaces.RSAKey interfaces whereas its public keys implement java.security.interfaces.ECPublicKey or java.security.interfaces.RSAPublicKey interfaces.

NOTE: The key material of keys stored in the Android Keystore is not accessible.

Instances of this class are immutable.

<h3>Known issues</h3> A known bug in Android 6.0 (API Level 23) causes user authentication-related authorizations to be enforced even for public keys. To work around this issue extract the public key material to use outside of Android Keystore. For example:

{@code
            PublicKey unrestrictedPublicKey =
                    KeyFactory.getInstance(publicKey.getAlgorithm()).generatePublic(
                            new X509EncodedKeySpec(publicKey.getEncoded()));
            }

<h3>Example: AES key for encryption/decryption in GCM mode</h3> This example illustrates how to import an AES key into the Android KeyStore under alias key1 authorized to be used only for encryption/decryption in GCM mode with no padding. The key must export its key material via Key#getEncoded() in RAW format.

{@code
            SecretKey key = ...; // AES key

            KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("AndroidKeyStore");
            keyStore.load(null);
            keyStore.setEntry(
                    "key1",
                    new KeyStore.SecretKeyEntry(key),
                    new KeyProtection.Builder(KeyProperties.PURPOSE_ENCRYPT | KeyProperties.PURPOSE_DECRYPT)
                            .setBlockMode(KeyProperties.BLOCK_MODE_GCM)
                            .setEncryptionPaddings(KeyProperties.ENCRYPTION_PADDING_NONE)
                            .build());
            // Key imported, obtain a reference to it.
            SecretKey keyStoreKey = (SecretKey) keyStore.getKey("key1", null);
            // The original key can now be discarded.

            Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/GCM/NoPadding");
            cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, keyStoreKey);
            ...
            }

<h3>Example: HMAC key for generating MACs using SHA-512</h3> This example illustrates how to import an HMAC key into the Android KeyStore under alias key1 authorized to be used only for generating MACs using SHA-512 digest. The key must export its key material via Key#getEncoded() in RAW format.

{@code
            SecretKey key = ...; // HMAC key of algorithm "HmacSHA512".

            KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("AndroidKeyStore");
            keyStore.load(null);
            keyStore.setEntry(
                    "key1",
                    new KeyStore.SecretKeyEntry(key),
                    new KeyProtection.Builder(KeyProperties.PURPOSE_SIGN).build());
            // Key imported, obtain a reference to it.
            SecretKey keyStoreKey = (SecretKey) keyStore.getKey("key1", null);
            // The original key can now be discarded.

            Mac mac = Mac.getInstance("HmacSHA512");
            mac.init(keyStoreKey);
            ...
            }

<h3>Example: EC key pair for signing/verification using ECDSA</h3> This example illustrates how to import an EC key pair into the Android KeyStore under alias key2 with the private key authorized to be used only for signing with SHA-256 or SHA-512 digests. The use of the public key is unrestricted. Both the private and the public key must export their key material via Key#getEncoded() in PKCS#8 and X.509 format respectively.

{@code
            PrivateKey privateKey = ...;   // EC private key
            Certificate[] certChain = ...; // Certificate chain with the first certificate
                                           // containing the corresponding EC public key.

            KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("AndroidKeyStore");
            keyStore.load(null);
            keyStore.setEntry(
                    "key2",
                    new KeyStore.PrivateKeyEntry(privateKey, certChain),
                    new KeyProtection.Builder(KeyProperties.PURPOSE_SIGN)
                            .setDigests(KeyProperties.DIGEST_SHA256, KeyProperties.DIGEST_SHA512)
                            .build());
            // Key pair imported, obtain a reference to it.
            PrivateKey keyStorePrivateKey = (PrivateKey) keyStore.getKey("key2", null);
            PublicKey publicKey = keyStore.getCertificate("key2").getPublicKey();
            // The original private key can now be discarded.

            Signature signature = Signature.getInstance("SHA256withECDSA");
            signature.initSign(keyStorePrivateKey);
            ...
            }

<h3>Example: RSA key pair for signing/verification using PKCS#1 padding</h3> This example illustrates how to import an RSA key pair into the Android KeyStore under alias key2 with the private key authorized to be used only for signing using the PKCS#1 signature padding scheme with SHA-256 digest and only if the user has been authenticated within the last ten minutes. The use of the public key is unrestricted (see Known Issues). Both the private and the public key must export their key material via Key#getEncoded() in PKCS#8 and X.509 format respectively.

{@code
            PrivateKey privateKey = ...;   // RSA private key
            Certificate[] certChain = ...; // Certificate chain with the first certificate
                                           // containing the corresponding RSA public key.

            KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("AndroidKeyStore");
            keyStore.load(null);
            keyStore.setEntry(
                    "key2",
                    new KeyStore.PrivateKeyEntry(privateKey, certChain),
                    new KeyProtection.Builder(KeyProperties.PURPOSE_SIGN)
                            .setDigests(KeyProperties.DIGEST_SHA256)
                            .setSignaturePaddings(KeyProperties.SIGNATURE_PADDING_RSA_PKCS1)
                            // Only permit this key to be used if the user
                            // authenticated within the last ten minutes.
                            .setUserAuthenticationRequired(true)
                            .setUserAuthenticationValidityDurationSeconds(10 * 60)
                            .build());
            // Key pair imported, obtain a reference to it.
            PrivateKey keyStorePrivateKey = (PrivateKey) keyStore.getKey("key2", null);
            PublicKey publicKey = keyStore.getCertificate("key2").getPublicKey();
            // The original private key can now be discarded.

            Signature signature = Signature.getInstance("SHA256withRSA");
            signature.initSign(keyStorePrivateKey);
            ...
            }

<h3>Example: RSA key pair for encryption/decryption using PKCS#1 padding</h3> This example illustrates how to import an RSA key pair into the Android KeyStore under alias key2 with the private key authorized to be used only for decryption using the PKCS#1 encryption padding scheme. The use of public key is unrestricted, thus permitting encryption using any padding schemes and digests. Both the private and the public key must export their key material via Key#getEncoded() in PKCS#8 and X.509 format respectively.

{@code
            PrivateKey privateKey = ...;   // RSA private key
            Certificate[] certChain = ...; // Certificate chain with the first certificate
                                           // containing the corresponding RSA public key.

            KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("AndroidKeyStore");
            keyStore.load(null);
            keyStore.setEntry(
                    "key2",
                    new KeyStore.PrivateKeyEntry(privateKey, certChain),
                    new KeyProtection.Builder(KeyProperties.PURPOSE_DECRYPT)
                            .setEncryptionPaddings(KeyProperties.ENCRYPTION_PADDING_RSA_PKCS1)
                            .build());
            // Key pair imported, obtain a reference to it.
            PrivateKey keyStorePrivateKey = (PrivateKey) keyStore.getKey("key2", null);
            PublicKey publicKey = keyStore.getCertificate("key2").getPublicKey();
            // The original private key can now be discarded.

            Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding");
            cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, keyStorePrivateKey);
            ...
            }
