Realm is a mobile database that runs directly inside phones, tablets or wearables.

This repository holds the library to allow Sync client under Android Realm Object Server to encrypt the token saved in SharedPreferences, once the user is authenticated. The encryption uses the Android KeyStore available to generate and uses RSA and AES keys for encryption operations.

Using Snapshots

If you want to test recent bugfixes or features that have not been packaged in an official release yet, you can use a -SNAPSHOT release of the current development version of Realm via Gradle, available on OJO

repositories {

  maven {

url 'http://oss.jfrog.org/artifactory/oss-snapshot-local'
  
}
 
}
  dependencies {

  compile 'io.realm:secure-userstore:<version>' 
}

See version.txt for the latest version number.

Building Realm Sync User Encryption

In case you don't want to use the precompiled version, you can build the library yourself from source.

Prerequisites:

• Download/the JDK 7 or JDK 8 from Oracle and install it.
• Download & install the Android SDK, Android 6.0 (API 23) (for example through Android Studio’s Android SDK Manager)

Once you have completed all the pre-requisites building the library is done with a simple command

./gradlew assemble 

That command will generate:

• an aar file for the library in app/build/outputs/aar/android-sync-user-encryption-release.aar

you can also install the aar into your local maven repository.

./gradlew publishAARPublicationToMavenLocal
