Answer 1

You might write a wrapper class that calls CommonCrypto routines if you're on an iPhone, to reduce your library size requirements and enforce portability. Your wrapper, for example, would call other routines if compiled on another platform. The nice thing about CommonCrypto is that it is pre-built by Apple. Calls to it are also entirely in C.

Answer 2

For size/speed -- you can get Openssl to generate flattened assembly for certain processors. I suggest you look into the build directories to see what is possible. I usually build my own Openssl library based on what I need.

Answer 3

I've looked a lot of libraries, and in the end I ended up going with "TomCrypt", for the following reasons:

1) Excellent portability. You can customize the library in a very very easy way in order to almost assure portability between lot's of devices.

2) Very modular, I could (in a very easy way) pick up and compile only the encryption algorithms I needed for my particular application, ( in this example it was SHA-1 and a couple of others)

3) Very very lightweight. Because of the modularity, it ended up being a very lightweight addition to my code.

Java based encryption library for Android

I'm looking for a java-based encryption library for Android. I am aware of the built-in encryption that Android offers. Don't want it. Google broke compatibility from one OS to another. My app cannot rely on that. I also looked at Bouncy Castle, which is what Android uses internally but modified. The footprint however is pretty big at around 1.5 meg. Spongy Castle is available but is just a wrapper for Bouncy Castle with t...

security - Android Data Encryption dilemma

I'm creating an application that encrypts data with a key that is created each time the user logs into the app. However, there are times when data will be received via a BroadcastReceiver that needs encrypting, but the user is not logged in and so the encryption key is not available. Security is pretty important and so using a key stored in code to encrypt the data until the user next logs in is out of the question as is s...
