IdentityCredentialStore

public abstract class IdentityCredentialStore
extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳	android.security.identity.IdentityCredentialStore

An interface to a secure store for user identity documents.

This interface is deliberately fairly general and abstract. To the extent possible, specification of the message formats and semantics of communication with credential verification devices and issuing authorities (IAs) is out of scope. It provides the interface with secure storage but a credential-specific Android application will be required to implement the presentation and verification protocols and processes appropriate for the specific credential type.

Multiple credentials can be created. Each credential comprises:

A document type, which is a string.
A set of namespaces, which serve to disambiguate value names. It is recommended that namespaces be structured as reverse domain names so that IANA effectively serves as the namespace registrar.
For each namespace, a set of name/value pairs, each with an associated set of access control profile IDs. Names are strings and values are typed and can be any value supported by CBOR.
A set of access control profiles (up to 32), each with a profile ID and a specification of the conditions which satisfy the profile's requirements.
An asymmetric key pair which is used to authenticate the credential to the Issuing Authority, called the CredentialKey.
A set of zero or more named reader authentication public keys, which are used to authenticate an authorized reader to the credential.
A set of named signing keys, which are used to sign collections of values and session transcripts.

Implementing support for user identity documents in secure storage requires dedicated hardware-backed support and may not always be available.

Two different credential stores exist - the default store and the direct access store. Most often credentials will be accessed through the default store but that requires that the Android device be powered up and fully functional. It is desirable to allow identity credential usage when the Android device's battery is too low to boot the Android operating system, so direct access to the secure hardware via NFC may allow data retrieval, if the secure hardware chooses to implement it.

Credentials provisioned to the direct access store should always use reader authentication to protect data elements. The reason for this is user authentication or user approval of data release is not possible when the device is off.

public static final int CIPHERSUITE_ECDHE_HKDF_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA256

Specifies that the cipher suite that will be used to secure communications between the reader and the prover is using the following primitives

ECKA-DH (Elliptic Curve Key Agreement Algorithm - Diffie-Hellman, see BSI TR-03111).
HKDF-SHA-256 (see RFC 5869).
AES-256-GCM (see NIST SP 800-38D).
HMAC-SHA-256 (see RFC 2104).

The exact way these primitives are combined to derive the session key is specified in section 9.2.1.4 of ISO/IEC 18013-5 (see description of cipher suite '1').

At present this is the only supported cipher suite.

Public methods

createCredential

public abstract WritableIdentityCredential createCredential (String credentialName, 
                String docType)

Creates a new credential.

When a credential is created, a cryptographic key-pair - CredentialKey - is created which is used to authenticate the store to the Issuing Authority. The private part of this key-pair never leaves secure hardware and the public part can be obtained using WritableIdentityCredential#getCredentialKeyCertificateChain(byte[]) on the returned object.

In addition, all of the Credential data content is imported and a certificate for the CredentialKey and a signature produced with the CredentialKey are created. These latter values may be checked by an issuing authority to verify that the data was imported into secure hardware and that it was imported unmodified.

Parameters
`credentialName`	`String`: The name used to identify the credential. This value cannot be `null`.
`docType`	`String`: The document type for the credential. This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`WritableIdentityCredential`	A `WritableIdentityCredential` that can be used to create a new credential. This value cannot be `null`.

Throws
`AlreadyPersonalizedException`	if a credential with the given name already exists.
`DocTypeNotSupportedException`	if the given document type isn't supported by the store.

deleteCredentialByName

public abstract byte[] deleteCredentialByName (String credentialName)

Delete a named credential.

This method returns a COSE_Sign1 data structure signed by the CredentialKey with payload set to ProofOfDeletion as defined below:

     ProofOfDeletion = [
          "ProofOfDeletion",            ; tstr
          tstr,                         ; DocType
          bool                          ; true if this is a test credential, should
                                        ; always be false.
      ]

Parameters
`credentialName`	`String`: the name of the credential to delete. This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`byte[]`	`null` if the credential was not found, the COSE_Sign1 data structure above if the credential was found and deleted.

getCredentialByName

public abstract IdentityCredential getCredentialByName (String credentialName, 
                int cipherSuite)

Retrieve a named credential.

The cipher suite used to communicate with the remote verifier must also be specified. Currently only a single cipher-suite is supported. Support for other cipher suites may be added in a future version of this API.

Parameters
`credentialName`	`String`: the name of the credential to retrieve. This value cannot be `null`.
`cipherSuite`	`int`: the cipher suite to use for communicating with the verifier. Value is `CIPHERSUITE_ECDHE_HKDF_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA256`

Returns
`IdentityCredential`	The named credential, or null if not found.

Throws
`CipherSuiteNotSupportedException`

getDirectAccessInstance

public static IdentityCredentialStore getDirectAccessInstance (Context context)

Gets the IdentityCredentialStore for direct access.

Direct access requires specialized NFC hardware and may not be supported on all devices even if default store is available. Credentials provisioned to the direct access store should always use reader authentication to protect data elements.

Parameters
`context`	`Context`: the application context. This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`IdentityCredentialStore`	the `IdentityCredentialStore` or `null` if direct access is not supported on this device.

getInstance

public static IdentityCredentialStore getInstance (Context context)

Gets the default IdentityCredentialStore.

Parameters
`context`	`Context`: the application context. This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`IdentityCredentialStore`	the `IdentityCredentialStore` or `null` if the device doesn't have hardware-backed support for secure storage of user identity documents.

getSupportedDocTypes

public abstract String[] getSupportedDocTypes ()

Gets a list of supported document types.

Only the direct-access store may restrict the kind of document types that can be used for credentials. The default store always supports any document type.

Returns
`String[]`	The supported document types or the empty array if any document type is supported. This value cannot be `null`.
