Does Google Nexus S have some sort of "secure storage" in the phone backed up by a security chip? In other words, a storage where keys can either be imported (when talking about symmetric keys) or generated (when talking about asymmetric RSA keys), and the symmetric key or the private portion of the asymmetric key can *NEVER* be extracted or read in any way after import/generation, it can only be used for encrypting/decrypting.
Of course, if the nexus one DOES have such a security chip, is it tamper resistant? (eg will it self-zeroize if any attempt is done to read the keys physically?, as a security measure against phone cloning/ emulation) And how is such keys generated/imported/used in Android then? (and of course, about asymmetric keys, there would need to be possible to extract the public portion of the key too) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
