Abstract:
This paper describes both the design decisions and implementation issues concerning the construction of a cryptographic library for Android Devices. Four aspects of the implementation were discussed in this paper: selection of cryptographic primitives, architecture of components, performance evaluation, and the implementation of non-standard cryptographic algorithms. The motivation behind the special attention given to the selection of alternative cryptographic algorithms was the recently revealed weakness found in international encryption standards, which may be intentionally included by foreign intelligence agencies.
