OpenPGP Keychain (for Android)

OpenPGP Keychain is an OpenPGP implementation for Android. The development began as a fork of Android Privacy Guard (APG).

Development

Development mailinglist at http://groups.google.com/d/forum/openpgp-keychain-dev

Build with Gradle

  1. Have Android SDK "tools", "platform-tools", and "build-tools" directories in your PATH (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)
  2. Open the Android SDK Manager (shell command: android).
    Expand the Tools directory and select "Android SDK Build-tools" newest version.
    Expand the Extras directory and install "Android Support Repository"
    Select everything for the newest SDK
  3. Export ANDROID_HOME pointing to your Android SDK
  4. Execute ./gradlew build
  5. You can install the app with adb install -r OpenPGP-Keychain/build/apk/OpenPGP-Keychain-debug-unaligned.apk

Build API Demo with Gradle

  1. Follow 1-3 from above
  2. Change to API Demo directory cd OpenPGP-Keychain-API
  3. Execute ./gradlew build

Development with Android Studio

I am using the newest Android Studio for development. Development with Eclipse is currently not possible because I am using the new project structure.

  1. Clone the project from github
  2. From Android Studio: File -> Import Project -> ...
  • Select the cloned top folder if you want to develop on the main project
  • Select the "OpenPGP-Keychain-API" folder if you want to develop on the API example
  1. Import project from external model -> choose Gradle

Keychain API

Intent API

All Intents require user interaction, e.g. to finally encrypt the user needs to press the "Encrypt" button. To do automatic encryption/decryption/sign/verify use the OpenPGP Remote API.

Android Intent actions:

  • 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

OpenPGP Keychain Intent actions:

  • org.sufficientlysecure.keychain.action.ENCRYPT
    • To encrypt or sign text, use extra text (type: String)
    • or set data Uri (intent.setData()) pointing to a file
    • Enable ASCII Armor for file encryption (encoding to Radix-64, 33% overhead) by adding the extra ascii_armor with value true
  • org.sufficientlysecure.keychain.action.DECRYPT
    • To decrypt or verify text, use extra text (type: String)
    • or set data Uri (intent.setData()) pointing to a file
  • org.sufficientlysecure.keychain.action.IMPORT_KEY
    • Extras: key_bytes (type: byte[])
    • or set data Uri (intent.setData()) pointing to a file
  • org.sufficientlysecure.keychain.action.IMPORT_KEY_FROM_KEYSERVER
    • Extras: query (type: String)
    • or fingerprint (type: String)
  • org.sufficientlysecure.keychain.action.IMPORT_KEY_FROM_QR_CODE
    • without extras, starts Barcode Scanner to get QR Code

OpenPGP Keychain special registered Intents:

  • android.intent.action.VIEW with URIs following the openpgp4fpr schema. For example: openpgp4fpr:73EE2314F65FA92EC2390D3A718C070100012282. This is used in QR Codes, but could also be embedded into your website. (compatible with Monkeysphere's and Guardian Project's QR Codes)
  • NFC (android.nfc.action.NDEF_DISCOVERED) on mime type application/pgp-keys (as specified in http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3156, section 7)

OpenPGP Remote API

To do asyncronous fast encryption/decryption/sign/verify operations bind to the OpenPGP remote service. The API Demo contains all required AIDL files and a demo activity.

Try out the API

Keychain: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.sufficientlysecure.keychain
API Demo: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.sufficientlysecure.keychain.demo

Design

All apps wanting to use this generic API just need to include the AIDL files and connect to the service. Other OpenPGP apps can implement a service based on this AIDL definition.

The API is designed to be as easy as possible to use by apps like K-9 Mail. The service definition defines sign/encrypt/signAndEncrypt/decryptAndVerify [1].

As can be seen the apps themselves never need handle key ids directly. Only user ids (emails) are used to define recipients. If more than one pub key exists for an email, OpenPGP Keychain will handle the problem by showing a selection screen.

Also app devs never need to fiddle with private keys. On first operation, OpenPGP Keychain shows an activity to allow or disallow access, while also allowing to choose the private key used for this app. Please try the Demo app out to see how it works [4].

Integration

The API is defined as AIDL interfaces in org.openintents.openpgp packge [2]. All files from [2] needs to be included in the project.

Using the OpenPgpServiceConnection.java [3] you can choose to which OpenPGP provider you want to connect (other pgp apps can implement the interfaces). They can be queried as shown in the demo app (see [3] how to query). If other OpenPGP apps implement the service, no additional code is required in k9mail per provider. See [3] for a complete example for integration.

Libraries

ZXing Barcode Scanner Android Integration

Classes can be found under "libraries/zxing-android-integration/".

  1. Checkout their SVN (see http://code.google.com/p/zxing/source/checkout)
  2. Copy all classes from their android-integration folder to our library folder

ZXing

Classes can be found under "libraries/zxing/". ZXing classes were extracted from the ZXing library (http://code.google.com/p/zxing/). Only classes related to QR Code generation are utilized.

Bouncy Castle

Spongy Castle

Spongy Castle is the stock Bouncy Castle libraries with a couple of small changes to make it work on Android. OpenPGP Keychain uses a forked version with some small changes. These changes will been sent to Bouncy Castle, and Spongy Castle will be used again when they have filtered down.

Notes

Gradle Build System

We try to make our builds as reproducible/deterministic as possible. This is also a key requirement to be part of F-Droid. When changing build files or dependencies, respect the following requirements:

  • No precompiled libraries. All libraries should be provided as sourcecode in "libraries" folder
  • No dependencies from Maven
  • Always use a fixed Android Gradle plugin version not a dynamic one, e.g. 0.7.3 instead of 0.7.+
  • Commit the corresponding gradle wrapper version to the repository

Translations

Translations are hosted on Transifex, which is configured by ".tx/config".

  1. To pull newest translations install transifex client (e.g. apt-get install transifex-client)
  2. Config Transifex client with "~/.transifexrc"
  3. Go into root folder of git repo
  4. execute tx pull (tx pull -a to get all languages)

see http://help.transifex.net/features/client/index.html#user-client

Coding Style

Code

  • Indentation: 4 spaces, no tabs
  • Maximum line width for code and comments: 100
  • Opening braces don't go on their own line
  • Field names: Non-public, non-static fields start with m.
  • Acronyms are words: Treat acronyms as words in names, yielding !XmlHttpRequest, getUrl(), etc.

See http://source.android.com/source/code-style.html

XML Eclipse Settings

  • XML Maximum line width 999
  • XML: Split multiple attributes each on a new line (Eclipse: Properties -> XML -> XML Files -> Editor)
  • XML: Indent using spaces with Indention size 4 (Eclipse: Properties -> XML -> XML Files -> Editor)
