Hi

My puprose is to safely store a secretkeys ,used for encryption/
decryption process., in a keystore file in android. The keystore is
password protected, but open to brute force attacks if it can be
exported to regular PCs.

I read in SDK that application can not access private memory of other
applications, which is great, so inside a phone I am considering
myself as safe. My concern is when the phone (device) is connected to
computer, then everything is exportable to computer (as in emulator),
and so is the keystore file which is then open to attacks.

One solution to this would be to use cryptographic mini/microSD cards,
but its rather expensive (and beside could not find such a product
too).

So my question is : Is there any area inside an android, where we
could keep a private data which will not be exportable in any way ?


Sincerely
Ray
