Security

The security features introduce how private information remains private, and how the user knows when they are trying to access privileged information. You can use a repository and cryptographic operations to manage keys, certificates, and sensitive user data. When the user tries to access privileged information, you can display information about the data.

You can use the following security features in your native applications:

  • Secure Key Management

    You can provide a secure repository for keys, certificates, and sensitive data related to users and their password-protected applications. You can also use secure cryptographic operations for non-exportable keys without revealing the key values to clients.

  • Privilege Information

    You can retrieve information about existing permissions granted by a privilege. The information can be delivered to the user as a notification.

  • Privacy-related Permissions

    You can check current permissions for privacy-related privileges and request user permission to use specific privileges.

  • Cryptographic Operations

    You can encrypt and decrypt data with symmetric or asymmetric encryption, and manage keys with YACA (Yet Another Crypto API). You can also digest messages and create digital signatures.

  • Device Policy Management

    You can create security-aware applications to manage device policies. In enterprise settings, you can provide rich control for IT administrators over employee devices.

  • Malware Scanning and Web Protection

    You can scan data, files, and directories to detect malware. You can also check the URL reputation before accessing a specific URL.

  • Device Certificate Manager

    You can use cryptography services (digital certificates and keys) for authentication and secure communication with another system.
