# Security Concept
## Basic goals
* Never (even with permissions) give out actual PGPSecretKey/PGPSecretKeyRing blobs
* Intents without permissions should only work based on user interaction (e.g. click a button in a dialog)
Android primitives to exchange data: Intent, Intent with return values, Send (also an Intent), Content Provider, AIDL
## Intents
### Without permission
* android.intent.action.VIEW connected to .gpg and .asc files: Import Key and Decrypt
* android.intent.action.SEND connected to all mime types (text/plain and every binary data like files and images): Encrypt and Decrypt
* IMPORT
* EDIT_KEY
* SELECT_PUBLIC_KEYS
* SELECT_SECRET_KEY
* ENCRYPT
* ENCRYPT_FILE
* DECRYPT
* DECRYPT_FILE
### With permission
* CREATE_KEY
* ENCRYPT_AND_RETURN
* GENERATE_SIGNATURE
* DECRYPT_AND_RETURN
## Content Provider
* The whole content provider requires a permission (only read)
* Don't give out blobs
* Make an internal and external content provider (or pathes with <path-permission>)
* Look at android:grantUriPermissions especially for ApgServiceBlobProvider
* Only give out android:readPermission
## Remote Service
* The whole service requires a permission
## Resulting permission
* Read key information (not the actual keys)(content provider)
* Encrypt/Sign/Decrypt/Create keys (intents, remote service) without user interaction
