Secure Keystore

Secure Keystore is a cross-platform cryptographic key management library for Android and iOS, supporting secure key generation, encryption/decryption, HMAC, and digital signatures using native platform security features (Android Keystore and iOS Keychain/Secure Enclave).

Platforms Supported

  • Android 6.0+ (Hardware-backed keystore)

  • iOS 13.0+ (Secure Enclave + Keychain)


Artifacts

  • Maven Snapshots are available here

📦 Installation

iOS (Swift)

Using Swift Package Manager:

  1. Open Xcode

  2. Go to File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency

  3. Use the URL: https://github.com/mosip/secure-keystore-ios-swift.git

Android (Kotlin)

Add the following in your settings.gradle.kts:

dependencyResolutionManagement {
  repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
    maven("https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/")
  }
}

In build.gradle.kts:

dependencies {
  implementation("io.mosip:secure-keystore:0.3.0")
}

📘 API Documentation

  • deviceSupportsHardware() => boolean Checks if the device supports secure hardware-backed keystore.

  • generateKey(alias, isAuthRequired, authTimeout?) Generates a symmetric key for encryption/decryption with optional biometric auth.

  • generateKeyPair(type, alias, isAuthRequired, authTimeout?) Creates a public-private key pair (RSA or EC) with optional authentication.

  • encryptData(alias, data, onSuccess, onFailure) Encrypts data using a symmetric key associated with the given alias.

  • decryptData(alias, encryptedText, onSuccess, onFailure) Decrypts previously encrypted data using the associated key alias.

  • sign(signAlgorithm, alias, data, onSuccess, onFailure) Signs data using the specified key and signature algorithm (RSA, ECDSA are supported).

  • generateHmacSha(alias, data, onSuccess, onFailure) Generates an HMAC signature using the specified alias and data.

  • generateHmacSha256Key(alias) Creates a symmetric key suitable for HMAC-SHA256 operations.

  • hasAlias(alias) => boolean Checks if a key exists for the specified alias.

  • removeKey(alias) Deletes the key associated with the given alias from the keystore.

  • removeAllKeys() Clears all keys stored in the keystore.

  • retrieveKey(alias) Retrieves the public key for the specified alias.

  • storeGenericKey(publicKey, privateKey, account) Stores a custom key pair in the keychain/keystore linked to an account.

  • retrieveGenericKey(account) Retrieves the stored key pair associated with the specified account.
