FULL Guide to Encryption & Decryption in Android (Keystore, Ciphers and more)

Sometimes, you need to deal with sensitive user data you can't just save like that on the file system. Instead, you should encrypt it to make it safe from attackers. In this video you'll learn the ins and outs about the keystore system and how we can use it together with ciphers to encrypt something.

How's it possible that whenever I work with something new in my internship at my company and wonder what's this... You come up with a detailed video on that one !! 😱. Philipp Op

I've used EncryptedSharedPref on my projects and was wondering to create a Security Class like this to use KeyStore on regular files. This is a complete & well explained guide for that. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with community Philipp.

This video is helped me a lot. I didn't know about encryption and decryption specifically before. After I watched this, at least I know them and those implementation on Android. Super cool!

[rishabhjain]

It would be great if you use the images or a short presentation slides or animation for better understanding. This is still the best channel out there .

Hey Phil, In my Nigerian accent, "You are doing well"😁. Thanks for all you do

At time 12:00, you mention that we can get existing key from keystore. But while creating a new key, we're not mentioning our keystore anywhere. So how does this keystore know which key is being created and added against "secret"?

[halvtysk]

Interesting subject. I remember investigating this a couple of years ago, but was put off by the complexity trying to solve this for pre-M-devices. Would be interesting to see your take on that.

Tx Phil for the tutorial, truly hope you get your 100k subs by EOY.

for some reason even after following everything the decrpytion doesnt work, I've also tried cloning your github project & it gives me the same issue, there's not much documentation on this either

[devenderchaturvedi]

Wow, I've been waiting for your video with my coffee. Finally, It's coffee time now☕

I have a Verizon device.
While I didn't appreciate that I could not root my device, I can appreciate the security of the whole deal.
