KryptoPrefs
KryptoPrefs is an open source Kotlin library for handling encrypted SharedPreferences in Android.
Features
- Lightweight library (~70 KB) with no dependencies.
- High compatibility (API 9 to API 29).
- Modular: Use the provided algorithms or make your own.
- Usable from Java and Kotlin.
- Supports the Android Keystore.
- KryptoContext for higher level features:
- Supported types: string, int, long, boolean, date, double, float, short, byte, char, enum and json.
- Types can be nullable.
- Types can be memory backed.
- Types can be observed.
- Custom types with your custom transform (e.g. JSON). Provided transforms for Gson and Moshi.
- Asynchronous reads and writes.
Getting started
Add the library to your project:
allprojects {
repositories {
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.rumboalla.KryptoPrefs:kryptoprefs:0.4.3'
}
Create KryptoPrefs and start using it:
val prefs = KryptoBuilder.pref(context, "MyPrefs", MyPassword, MySalt, ApiTarget)
prefs.putString("Key", "Value")
val v = prefs.getString("Key", "Default")
If you need higher level features, use a KryptoContext:
class Prefs(prefs: KryptoPrefs): KryptoContext(prefs) {
val stringPref = string("stringPref", "defaultValue")
val intPref = int("intPref", 42)
val booleanPref = boolean("booleanPref", false)
}
val prefs = Prefs(KryptoBuilder.hybrid(context, "MyPrefs"))
prefs.stringPref("MyString") // Write to prefs
val stringPref = prefs.stringPref() // Read from prefs
prefs.stringPref.put("MyString") // Alternative write to prefs
val stringPref = prefs.stringPref.get() // Alternative read from prefs
Advanced usage
KryptoPref modes
- Default: Uses the best possible encryption method available (no Keystore) at the specified API level.
API | Encryption | Hash | Key |
---|---|---|---|
9 | AesCbcEncryption | Sha512Hash | PbeKey |
10+ | AesCbcEncryption | Sha512Hash | Pbkdf2Key |
19+ | AesGcmEncryption | Sha512Hash | Pbkdf2Key |
val prefs = KryptoBuilder.pref(context, "MyPrefs", MyPassword, MySalt, ApiTarget)
- Keystore: Uses the Keystore for everything. More security, less performance.
API | Encryption | Hash | Key |
---|---|---|---|
23+ | AesGcmEncryption | Sha512Hash | KeystoreKey |
val prefs = KryptoBuilder.keystore(context, "MyPrefs")
- Hybrid: Uses the Keystore for the key, normal for everything else. Good compromise between security and performance.
API | Encryption | Hash | Key |
---|---|---|---|
23+ | AesGcmEncryption | Sha512Hash | HybridKey |
val prefs = KryptoBuilder.hybrid(context, "MyPrefs")
- NoCrypt: Nothing will be encrypted.
API | Encryption | Hash | Key |
---|---|---|---|
9+ | NoEncryption | NoHash | NoKey |
val prefs = KryptoBuilder.nocrypt(context, "MyPrefs")
Custom KryptoPref
You can create your own KryptoPref:
val prefs = KryptoPrefsImpl(context, "MyPrefs", AesCbcEncryption(), Sha512Hash(), Pbkdf2Key(MyPassword, MySalt))
Asynchronous operations
You can do async reads and writes:
stringPref.putAsync("MyString")
stringPref.getAsync { newValue = it }
Using custom types, collections and JSON
Add kryptoprefs-gson to your project:
implementation 'com.github.rumboalla.KryptoPrefs:kryptoprefs-gson:0.4.3'
Or kryptoprefs-moshi:
implementation 'com.github.rumboalla.KryptoPrefs:kryptoprefs-moshi:0.4.3'
Use json type in your KryptoContext:
class Prefs(prefs: KryptoPrefs): KryptoContext(prefs) {
val jsonPref = json("jsonPref", TestClass())
val listPref = json("listPref", emptyList<TestClass>())
}
Nullable types
Types can be nullable:
val nullDatePref = date("nullDatePref", null)
Memory backing
To help performance preferences can be memory backed:
val stringPrefBacked = string("stringPrefBacked", "defaultValue", true)
Observing preferences
You can observe preferences in a KryptoContext by using += or addObserver:
prefs.intPref += { newValue = it }
prefs.intPref.addObserver { newValue = it }
