My question is related to following questions.
Security of Android assets folder
Assets Security in Android
Basically the application which I am making has some mp3 resources which I wanted to secure. So is there library which work on android to encrypt and then decrypt resources especially mp3 files.
Thanks.
The AWS Encryption SDK is a client-side encryption library designed to make it easy for everyone to encrypt and decrypt data using industry standards and best practices. It enables you to focus on the core functionality of your application, rather than on how to best encrypt and decrypt your data.
While the most common are AES, RSA, and DES, there are other types being used as well. Let's dive into what these acronyms mean, what encryption is, and how to keep your online data safe.
Encryption is the process of translating plain text data (plaintext) into something that appears to be random and meaningless (ciphertext). Decryption is the process of converting ciphertext back to plaintext. To encrypt more than a small amount of data, symmetric encryption is used.
Keep in mind that any method of encryption that you use will need storing the key to decrypt the encrypted data. This key will have to be available to your application and thus to anyone who has access to your application. By encrypting the data you change the problem of hiding your data to the problem of hiding your key and there is pretty much no way around it. The most you can do is to make your data harder to read but it can't be made impossible to read, unless you run your application on a trusted computing platform, as I said in my answer to your previous question.
