我打算在我的Android应用程序中使用KeyStore,使用存储在KeyStore中的KeyPair加密AES密钥. KeyStore的Android文档：

https://developer.android.com/training/articles/keystore.html

在搜索互联网后,我找到了一个AOSP示例,我编辑了这个：

这个实现可以包装和解包一个SecretKey,在我的情况下是一个AES密钥.

但是,此KeyStore仅在4.3及更高版本中受支持.请参阅Jelly Bean注释.

提出我的问题,同样实施4.3以下的可能性有哪些？

提前致谢,

解决方法:

密钥库从1.6开始提供,但早期版本中没有官方API.您仍然可以通过私有API使用它,但您可能会遇到各种问题.

可以在您引用的同一博客上找到一个示例：

http://nelenkov.blogspot.com/2012/05/storing-application-secrets-in-androids.html

实现可能最终有些棘手,因为密钥库需要独立于设备锁屏解锁.对于早期版本考虑基于密码的加密可能更好,博客上有一篇关于它的帖子.
