KeyInfo

open class KeyInfo : KeySpec
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.security.keystore.KeyInfo

Information about a key from the Android Keystore system. This class describes whether the key material is available in plaintext outside of secure hardware, whether user authentication is required for using the key and whether this requirement is enforced by secure hardware, the key's origin, what uses the key is authorized for (e.g., only in GCM mode, or signing only), whether the key should be encrypted at rest, the key's and validity start and end dates.

Instances of this class are immutable.

Example: Symmetric Key

The following example illustrates how to obtain a KeyInfo describing the provided Android Keystore SecretKey. 
<code>SecretKey key = ...; // Android Keystore key
 
  SecretKeyFactory factory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance(key.getAlgorithm(), "AndroidKeyStore");
  KeyInfo keyInfo;
  try {
      keyInfo = (KeyInfo) factory.getKeySpec(key, KeyInfo.class);
  } catch (InvalidKeySpecException e) {
      // Not an Android KeyStore key.
  }</code>

Example: Private Key

The following example illustrates how to obtain a KeyInfo describing the provided Android KeyStore PrivateKey. 
<code>PrivateKey key = ...; // Android KeyStore key
 
  KeyFactory factory = KeyFactory.getInstance(key.getAlgorithm(), "AndroidKeyStore");
  KeyInfo keyInfo;
  try {
      keyInfo = factory.getKeySpec(key, KeyInfo.class);
  } catch (InvalidKeySpecException e) {
      // Not an Android KeyStore key.
  }</code>

isUserAuthenticationValidWhileOnBody

Added in API level 24
open fun isUserAuthenticationValidWhileOnBody(): Boolean

Returns true if this key will become unusable when the device is removed from the user's body. This is possible only for keys with a specified validity duration, and only on devices with an on-body sensor. Always returns false on devices that lack an on-body sensor.

Added in API level 28
open fun isUserConfirmationRequired(): Boolean

Returns true if the key is authorized to be used only for messages confirmed by the user. Confirmation is separate from user authentication (see isUserAuthenticationRequired()).
