Title:

Keeping your secrets - What AndroidKeystore can or can’t do for you?

Description:

In recent years millions of people have been affected by hackers who had leaked their personal data into the Web.

It's not always a good idea to carefree upload our data into a cloud and trust security that it provides.

We as developers should take a use of features that are supplied by the system that we work on.

I will start with presenting the evolution of data security on Android. We will discuss hardware backed security in old times and what is used currently.

I'd also like to familiarize you with Trusted Execution Environment(TEE) and how the system supports it.

Finally we will take a look at more practical use of what AndroidKeystore API has to offer and what is the alternative.

See you soon Geeks!
