Android RSA AES Example with unit tests

Android Encryption Example

This is an encryption example of RSA and AES (CBC, ECB, CTR) 256 bit key on android with unit tests. I have tried to provide a good and secure example by showcasing:

  • AES 256 bit key
  • CBC/CTR/ECB example
  • using salt for key derivation
  • streams for arbitrary data sizes
  • unit tests
  • RSA 2048 bit
  • Spongy Castle (Android version of Bouncy Castle encryption library)

The example encrypts the inputted string using AES, encrypts the key via RSA, and does the reverse when the decrypt button is clicked.

Prerequisite

In order to build the apk and run tests you must have the JCE (Java Cryptogrpahy Extension) Unlimited Strength policy jars installed for your JRE runtime.

If you do not do this then you will see the error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: java.security.InvalidKeyException: Illegal key size or default parameters

Testing/Building

To run the unit tests

./gradlew clean test

To build and install apk:

./gradlew clean installDebug
