Android Key Attestation Sample

This sample illustrates how to use the Bouncy Castle ASN.1 parser to extract information from an Android attestation data structure to verify that a key pair has been generated in an Android device. This sample demonstrates how to verify a certificate on a server.

Introduction

This example demonstrates the following tasks:

  1. Loading the certificates from PEM-encoded strings.
  2. Verifying the X.509 certificate chain, up to the root. Note that this example does NOT require the root certificate to appear within Google's list of root certificates. However, if you're verifying the properties of hardware-backed keys on a device that ships with hardware-level key attestation, Android 7.0 (API level 24) or higher, and Google Play services, your production code should enforce this requirement.
  3. Extracting the attestation extension data from the attestation certificate.
  4. Verifying (and printing) several important data elements from the attestation extension.

For more information about the process of extracting attestation certificate extension data, as well as the extension data schema, see the Key Attestation Android developer training article.

Note that this sample demonstrates the verification of a certificate on a server and not on the Android framework. Although you can test the certificate and extensions directly on a device, it is safer to run these checks on a separate server you can trust.

Pre-requisites

Getting Started

This sample uses the Gradle build system. To build this project, use the gradlew build command or use "Import Project" in IntelliJ or Android Studio.

Run the main method in KeyAttestationExample directly or use the gradlew run task to execute this sample.
