  3. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 Android Key Management: Agenda

    • Mobile Application Cryptography • Key Management and CryptoSystem • Crypto in Android • Symmetric Encryption • Symmetric Key Management • Asymmetric key: Encryption/Digital Signature • Keychain e AndroidKeyStore
  4. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 Mobile Application Cryptography ➢

    Exchange data securely: ➢ Protect Data: ◦ Sensitive Data ◦ Backups on /sdcard
  5. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 Key Management "Key management

    is the management of cryptographic keys in a cryptosystem."
  6. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 CryptoSystem "refers to a

    suite of algorithms needed to implement a particular form of encryption and decryption" • Two types of encryption: ◦ Symmetric Key Algorithms ▪ Identical key for encryption/decryption ▪ AES, Blowfish, DES, Triple DES ◦ Asymmetric Key Algorithms ▪ Pair of keys (public/private) for encryption/decryption ▪ RSA, DSA, ECDSA
  7. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 Symmetric Key Algorithms: Ciphers

    • Two types of ciphers: ◦ Block: Process entire blocks of fixed-length groups of bits at a time (padding may be required) ◦ Stream: Process single bit at a time(no padding) • Block Cipher modes of operation: ◦ ECB: each block encrypted independently ◦ CBC, CFB, OFB: (feedback mode) each block is encrypted combined with the previous encrypted block (starting from an IV) ◦ CTR: each block xored with the encrypted successive values of a counter ( starting from a nonce) ECB CBC
  8. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 Crypto in Android •

    Framework based on JCA ( Java Cryptography Architecture) • Provides API for: • Encryption/Decryption • Message digests (hashes) • Key management • Secure random number generation • API implemented by Cryptographic Service "Provider" • "Dynamic" Provider: javax.crypto.* java.security.*
  9. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 Default Providers ➢ From

    the beginning ◦ Bouncy Castle (Customized): ▪ Some services and API removed ▪ Varies between Android versions ▪ Fixed only in the latest versions ◦ Crypto (Apache Harmony) ▪ Few basic services ▪ Only for backward compatibility ➢ From Android 4.0 ◦ AndroidOpenSSL: ▪ OpenSSL JNI ▪ Performance Improved ▪ Vulnerable to Heartbleed in 4.1.1
  10. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 ➢ Spongy Castle (SC)

    ◦ Repackage of Bouncy Castle ◦ Supports more cryptographic options ◦ Not vulnerable to the Heartbleed Bug ◦ Up-to-date ➢ GPS Dynamic Security Provider ◦ Available from Play Services 5.0 ◦ Based on OpenSSL ( No Heartbleed) ◦ Rapid delivery of security patches ◦ Vendor independent !!! Dynamic Providers
  11. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 Cipher Class Secret Key

    Specification Cipher getInstance Cipher Init Cipher Final
  12. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 SecretKey Specification javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec •

    SecretKeySpec specifies a key for a specific algorithm SecretKeySpec skeySpec = new SecretKeySpec(key, "AES"); Encryption/Decryption Key Cryptographic Algorithm
  13. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 Cipher GetInstance javax.crypto.Cipher •

    Create cryptographic cipher Cipher c = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding”,“SC”); Transformation (describes set of operation to perform): • algorithm/mode/padding • algorithm Provider ( SpongyCastle )
  14. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 Cipher Init javax.crypto.Cipher •

    Initializes the cipher instance with the specified operational mode, key and algorithm parameters. cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, keySpec, new IvParameterSpec(iv)); Operational Mode: • ENCRYPT_MODE • DECRYPT_MODE • WRAP_MODE • UNWRAP_MODE SecretKeySpec Specify Cipher Algorithm parameters ( IV for CBC )
  15. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 Cipher Final javax.crypto.Cipher •

    Complete a multi-part transformation (encryption or decryption) byte[] encryptedText = cipher.doFinal(clearText.getBytes()); Encrypted Text in byte ClearText in bytes
  16. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 Key Generation: SecureRandom java.security.SecureRandom

    • Cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator SecureRandom secureRandom = new SecureRandom(); Default constructor uses the most cryptographically strong provider available • Seeding SecureRandom is dangerous: ◦ Not Secure ◦ Output may change
  17. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 Some SecureRandom Thoughts... •

    Android security team discovered in August 2013 an improper PRNG initialization for default OpenSSL provider • Applications invoking system-provided OpenSSL PRNG without explicit initialization are also affected • Key Generation, Signing or Random Number Generation not receiving cryptographically strong values • Developer must explicitly initialize the PRNG PRNGFixes.apply() http://android-developers.blogspot.it/2013/08/some-securerandom-thoughts.html
  18. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 KeyGenerator keyGenerator = KeyGenerator.getInstance("AES","SC");

    keyGenerator.init(outputKeyLength, secureRandom); SecretKey key = keyGenerator.generateKey(); Generate Secret Key javax.crypto.KeyGenerator • Symmetric cryptographic keys generator Specify Key Size Algorithm and Provider Key to use in Cipher.init()
  19. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 Key Management: Store on

    device • Protected by Android Filesystem Isolation • Plain File • SharedPreferences • Keystore File (BKS, JKS) • More secure with Phone Encryption • Store safely • MODE_PRIVATE flag • Use only internal storage /data/data/app_package
  20. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 Key Management: Store on

    device ➢ Device rooted? ◦ Check at run-time...
  21. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 Key Management: Store in

    App • Uses static keys or device specific information at run-time (IMEI, mac address, ANDROID_ID) • Android app can be easily reversed • Hide with Code obfuscation REVERSING
  22. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 Key Management: PBKDF2 •

    PBEKeySpec(password.toCharArray(), salt, NUM_OF_ITERATIONS, KEY_SIZE); SecretKeyFactory secretKeyFactory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance (PBE_ALGORITHM); encKey = secretKeyFactory.generateSecret(keySpec); Key Management: PBKDF2 javax.crypto.spec.PBEKeySpec • PBE Key specification and generation A good PBE algorithm is PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1 User Password N. >= 1000
  24. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 SecretKeyFactory factory; if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT

    >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) // Use compatibility key factory -- only uses lower 8-bits of passphrase chars factory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1And8bit"); else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 10) // Traditional key factory. Will use lower 8-bits of passphrase chars on // older Android versions (API level 18 and lower) and all available bits // on KitKat and newer (API level 19 and higher) factory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1"); else // FIX for Android 8,9 factory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBEWITHSHAAND128BITAES-CBC-BC"); SecretKeyFactory API in Android 4.4
  25. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 Key Management: Other solutions

    • Store on server side • Internet connection required • Use trusted and protected connections (HTTPS, Certificate Pinning) • Store on external device • NFC Java Card (NXP J3A081) • Smartcard • USB PenDrive • MicroSD with secure storage • AndroidKeyStore???
  26. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 Asymmetric Algorithms • Public/Private

    Key ◦ Public Key -> encrypt/verify signature ◦ Private Key -> decrypt/sign • Advantages: ◦ Public Key distribution is not dangerous • Disadvantages: ◦ Computationally expensive • Usually used with PKI (Public Key Infrastructure for digital certificates)
  27. Android Key Management Droidcon London 2014 Public-key Applications • Can

    classify uses into 3 categories: ◦ Encryption/Decryption (provides Confidentiality) ◦ Digital Signatures (provides Authentication and Integrity) ◦ Key Exchange (of Session Keys) • Some algorithms are suitable for all uses (RSA), others are specific to one
