SafeSlinger Android Client Projects

  • /safeslinger-exchange Contains the library project you can add to your own Android applications. Both the safeslinger-demo and safeslinger-messenger application projects utilize this library to execute the exchange.
  • /safeslinger-demo Contains the simple SafeSlinger Exchange Developer's App application project which shows the minimum requirements to run a safeslinger secure exchange.
  • /safeslinger-messenger Contains the full application project source for the SafeSlinger Messenger application. This project is a very rich implementation of a safeslinger secure exchange if you want an example of how to use the exchange to verify public keys in your own applications.
  • /sha3 Contains only the Keccak portions of the sphlib 3.0 library.
  • /android-vcard This is a modified version of the android-vcard library.

Running the Developer's App

Developer's App Requirements:

  1. Must be installed on a minimum of 2 devices.
  2. An Internet connection must be active.
  3. 'Server Host Name' can be your own server, OR use ours: slinger-dev.appspot.com
  4. 'My Secret' can be any information.

Developer's App Main Screen

Add Secure Exchange to your Android App

Modify your AndroidManifest.xml to include required permissions.

...
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
...

Modify your AndroidManifest.xml to include required activities.

...
<!-- we must include all activities declared by library manifests as well: -->
<activity
    android:name="edu.cmu.cylab.starslinger.exchange.ExchangeActivity"
    android:label="@string/lib_name"
    android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
</activity>
<activity
    android:name="edu.cmu.cylab.starslinger.exchange.GroupingActivity"
    android:label="@string/lib_name"
    android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
</activity>
<activity
    android:name="edu.cmu.cylab.starslinger.exchange.VerifyActivity"
    android:label="@string/lib_name"
    android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
</activity>
...

Modify your Activity that starts the exchange to import Bundle string extras for convenience and to avoid potential refactoring of names in future versions of the library.

...
import edu.cmu.cylab.starslinger.exchange.ExchangeActivity;
import edu.cmu.cylab.starslinger.exchange.ExchangeConfig;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

	private static final int RESULT_EXCHANGE = 1;
...

Call the ExchangeActivity with required extras USER_DATA and HOST_NAME. The UX will ask for the number of users, grouping number, and 3-word phrase.

private void beginExchange(String hostName, byte[] mySecret) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), ExchangeActivity.class);
    intent.putExtra(ExchangeConfig.extra.USER_DATA, mySecret);
    intent.putExtra(ExchangeConfig.extra.HOST_NAME, hostName);
    startActivityForResult(intent, RESULT_EXCHANGE);
}

Optionally, you may pass in the number of users using the NUM_USERS extra. The UX will ask for the grouping number and 3-word phrase only.

private void beginExchange(String hostName, byte[] mySecret, int numUsersIn) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), ExchangeActivity.class);
    intent.putExtra(ExchangeConfig.extra.USER_DATA, mySecret);
    intent.putExtra(ExchangeConfig.extra.HOST_NAME, hostName);
    intent.putExtra(ExchangeConfig.extra.NUM_USERS, numUsersIn);
    startActivityForResult(intent, RESULT_EXCHANGE);
}

Handle the ExchangeActivity results.

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

    switch (requestCode) {
        case RESULT_EXCHANGE:
            switch (resultCode) {
                case ExchangeActivity.RESULT_EXCHANGE_OK:
                    // use newly exchanged data from 'theirSecrets'
                    ArrayList<byte[]> theirSecrets = endExchange(data);
                    // ...
                    break;
                case ExchangeActivity.RESULT_EXCHANGE_CANCELED:
                    // handle canceled result
                    // ...
                    break;
            }
            break;
    }
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}

private static ArrayList<byte[]> endExchange(Intent data) {
    ArrayList<byte[]> theirSecrets = new ArrayList<byte[]>();
    Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
    if (extras != null) {
        byte[] d = null;
        int i = 0;
        do {
            d = extras.getByteArray(ExchangeConfig.extra.MEMBER_DATA + i);
            if (d != null) {
                theirSecrets.add(d);
                i++;
            }
        } while (d != null);
    }
    return theirSecrets;
}
