El Gamal support in Android

Posted: March 12, 2010, 6:16pm CET by ID

Hello,
I am new to Android development and I would like to know if Android
supports El Gamal encryption. I have found information about the
support of the Bouncycastle crypto library but no information about El
Gamal support.
I will appreciate any information regarding this topic.
Thanks,

warn about autorun.inf on the sdcard

Posted: March 9, 2010, 7:40pm CET by Chris Stratton

Theres a story making the rounds about someone claiming to have found
a windows autorun virus on the sdcard of a new phone. As this has
happened with a number of other devices, the risk seems real no matter
what the facts of that story turn out to be - even if the virus got on
there after shipping, being a propogation vector is undesirable.

Defining permissions

Posted: February 26, 2010, 5:48pm CET by _lou_

Hello,
From what I could read, it is
- not possible to associate a permission with several certificates
- not possible to create a permission unless you have some code
bundled with it in an APK file
- not possible to define a set new permissions associated with a
certificate each unless you create one APK file for each permission/

How to run an apk with UID root.

Hi,
I have an application(apk) which normally gets uid as
app_16. Internally it calls a Shared library, which tries to write to
HCI socket(bluetooth socket). Here the socket which is created has
bluetooth UID and GID. It is not allowing to write to that socket.
Can any body give me suggestion what all permissions should be given
Android used in an identity theft?

How secure is Android? As a happy owner of a new Droid with a strong
suspicion that it may have been used in an identity theft, I figured
this was a good place to spread the word and seek some advice.

Converting a certificate for the Nexus

Posted: January 21, 2010, 12:37pm CET by moa

We have wifi security that requires a certificate. This certificate is
DER or PEM format. This is easily imported on windows laptop or a pda
and you are then able to connect, all very straightforward.
However, the Nexus One does not seem to import these. It seems to
require a .p12 file (PKCS#12). In order to create one of these you
CRC on android

Posted: January 19, 2010, 9:13pm CET by Bryan Dixon

Does anyone know if there is a command that can be used via the adb
shell to do a simple crc on the files? I would use something like
cksum but apparently its not a valid command, and the only other one i
know of is using openssl to do hashes. Anyway let me know if you have
any thoughts or ideas. Thanks.
Sandboxing plugins?

I'm trying to write an app that will allow plugins (in the form of
JARs with a few classes), but I don't want them to be able to interact
with other applications on the device except through my own API. Are
there any nice ways of preventing code from broadcasting arbitrary
intents? If this isn't realistic at runtime, would a static analysis

Google accounts need more security, especially for people with Android

Posted: January 9, 2010, 6:48pm CET by Hayden

Google account security is pretty good for preventing hackers from
getting into your account (secondary email addresses, using SMS's to
password recovery, etc) but once a hacker has your password, you are
screwed. With your password, the hacker can quickly change all of
your recovery settings (secondary email address, phone number, and

Hi,

I wrote a simple Hello World app in C then cross-compile it and adb
push into /data directory then did strace.

But how to use strace on those applications installed in the menu?
