surelock

Surelock aims to make Fingerprint authentication easy for developers.

With Surelock, all you have to worry about is:

  1. Where you want to store your encrypted information
  2. And when you want to allow the user to use their fingerprint to encrypt that information.

And there's no need to check the Android version everywhere. That's handled for you! Elementary, my dear Watson.

Download

dependencies {
  compile 'com.smashingboxes.surelock:0.1.0'
  compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:LATEST_VERSION'
}

Snapshots of the development version are available in Sonatype's snapshots repository.

Getting Started

  1. Create a new instance of Surelock in your activity's onCreate method
Surelock surelock = Surelock.initialize(this, new SharedPreferencesStorage(this, SHARED_PREFS_FILE_NAME), KEYSTORE_KEY_ALIAS);

Compatibility

The FingerprintManager APIs are only supported on Android versions 23+ However, you can add Surelock to any project and check for compatibility with Surelock's helper methods.

NOTE: Samsung S5 and Note 4 devices do not support the Android FingerprintManager APIs, and therefore Surelock cannot support these devices. Samsung S6 and newer devices which have Fingerprint Scanning hardware should work fine.
