Encryption

Encryption is a simple way to create encrypted strings to Android project.

#How to use# 1º Add the gradle dependency

compile 'se.simbio.encryption:library:1.2.0'

2º a) Get an Encryption instance

Encryption encryption = Encryption.getDefault("YourKey", "YourSalt", yourByteIvArray);

2º b) Or build a new Encryption instance

Encryption encryption = new Encryption.Builder()
                .setKeyLength(128)
                .setKey("YourKey")
                .setSalt("YourSalt")
                .setIv(yourByteIvArray)
                .setCharsetName("UTF8")
                .setIterationCount(65536)
                .setDigestAlgorithm("SHA1")
                .setBase64Mode(Base64.DEFAULT)
                .setAlgorithm("AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding")
                .setSecureRandomAlgorithm("SHA1PRNG")
                .setSecretKeyType("PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1")
                .build();

3º Encrypt your text

String encrypted = encryption.encryptOrNull("Text to be encrypt");

4º Decrypt your text

String decrypted = encryption.decryptOrNull(encrypted);

#FAQ#

• What is Encryption library?
  • Encryption library is an Open Source library to help encryption routines in Android applications, our target is to be simple and secure.
• What is the "IV", what should be my yourByteIvArray
  • Encryption 1.2+ uses by default the AES algorithm in CBC mode, so to encrypt and decrypt works you should have the same key and the same IV byte array to encrypt and to decrypt. An example of IV is byte[] iv = {-89, -19, 17, -83, 86, 106, -31, 30, -5, -111, 61, -75, -84, 95, 120, -53}; like you can see, 16 bytes in a byte array. So if you want to use this library I recommend you create you own IV and save it :floppy_disk:.
• I Don't like null returns when errors occurs, what to do to handle errors?
  • You have the power to handle the exceptions, instead of uses encryptOrNull method just uses the encrypt method. The same for the decryptOrNull, just uses the decrypt method.
• I'm getting problems with main thread, what to do?
  • Encrypt routines can take time, so you can uses the encryptAsync with a Encryption.Callbackto avoid ANR'S. The same for decryptAsync
• I'm an older user, version 1.1 or less, what to do to update Encrypt to version 1.2+?
  • The library has several changes in his structure in version 1.2, both in algorithm and in code usage, so if you are an older user you need migrate the encrypted stuff or configure the Builder manually to the same parameters used in version 1.1 and olds.
