Using Android Keystore for Secure Data Storage
The provided AndroidKeystore
class allows developers to securely save and retrieve a string of data in the Android Keystore within a Unity application. The Android Keystore provides a secure storage mechanism for sensitive information such as cryptographic keys, passwords, or any other confidential data. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use this class:
Saving a String to the Android Keystore
To save a string securely in the Android Keystore, you can use the SaveStringToKeystore
method:
public static void SaveStringToKeystore(string secret){ // Save a secret string to the Android Keystore AndroidKeystore.SaveStringToKeystore("MySecretPassword123");}
To retrieve the saved string from the Android Keystore, you can use the GetStringFromKeystore
method:
public static string GetStringFromKeystore(){ // Retrieve the saved string from the Android Keystore string secret = AndroidKeystore.GetStringFromKeystore();}
Usage Example
Here’s an example of how you can use the AndroidKeystore
class to securely save and retrieve a string:
// Save a secret string to the Android KeystoreAndroidKeystore.SaveStringToKeystore("MySecretPassword123");
// Retrieve the saved string from the Android Keystorestring secret = AndroidKeystore.GetStringFromKeystore();
if (secret != null){ Debug.Log("Retrieved secret: " + secret);}else{ Debug.Log("Secret not found or not running on Android.");}
This example demonstrates how to save a secret string and then retrieve it securely from the Android Keystore within your Unity application.
