# OpenPGP Keychain (for Android)
|
|
|
|
OpenPGP Keychain is an OpenPGP implementation for Android.
|
|
The development began as a fork of Android Privacy Guard (APG).
|
|
|
|
see http://sufficientlysecure.org/keychain
|
|
|
|
## How to help the project?
|
|
|
|
### Translate the application
|
|
|
|
Translations are managed at Transifex, please contribute there at https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/openpgp-keychain/
|
|
|
|
### Contribute Code
|
|
|
|
1. Join the development mailinglist at http://groups.google.com/d/forum/openpgp-keychain-dev
|
|
2. Lookout for interesting issues on our issue page at Github: https://github.com/dschuermann/openpgp-keychain/issues
|
|
3. Tell us about your plans on the mailinglist
|
|
4. Read this README, especially the notes about coding style
|
|
5. Fork OpenPGP Keychain and contribute code (the best part ;) )
|
|
6. Open a pull request on Github. I will help with occuring problems and merge your changes back into the main project.
|
|
|
|
I am happy about every code contribution and appreciate your effort to help us developing OpenPGP Keychain!
|
|
|
|
## 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 Extras directory and install "Android Support Repository"
|
|
3. Export ANDROID_HOME pointing to your Android SDK
|
|
4. Execute ``./gradlew build``
|
|
|
|
### Development with Android Studio
|
|
|
|
I am using the newest [Android Studio](http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html) for development. Development with Eclipse is currently not possible because I am using the new [project structure](http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio-tips.html).
|
|
|
|
1. Clone the project from github
|
|
2. From Android Studio: File -> Import Project -> Select the cloned top folder
|
|
3. 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 provided by OpenPGP Keychain:
|
|
|
|
* ``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 specific 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_QR_CODE``
|
|
* without extras, starts Barcode Scanner to get QR Code
|
|
|
|
### 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 to improve key import speed. These changes have been sent to Bouncy Castle, and Spongy Castle will be used again when they have filtered down.

## Notes
|
|
|
|
### Eclipse: "GC overhead limit exceeded"
|
|
|
|
If you have problems starting OpenPGP Kechain from Eclipse, consider increasing the memory limits in eclipse.ini.
|
|
See http://docs.oseems.com/general/application/eclipse/fix-gc-overhead-limit-exceeded for more information.
|
|
|
|
### Gradle Build System
|
|
|
|
We try to make our builds as [reproducible/deterministic](https://blog.torproject.org/blog/deterministic-builds-part-one-cyberwar-and-global-compromise) 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)
