When you simply can't avoid storing basic credentials

Usually, when storing credentials, one-way encryption is used to protect sensitive information. However, some systems require access to a set of clear-text credentials for authentication.

Lockdown is intended for those cases - where the need for clear-text credentials cannot be eliminated from an application. It applies a thin convenience layer on top of the established bouncycastle encryption libraries which allows simpler use the RSA public/private key encryption pattern.

Projects

lockdown-core

Lockdown Core is where the central key generation and encryption/decryption APIs are defined. This library is intended for use within applications consuming lockdown, and allows access to credential storage files.

Usage information can be found in lockdown-core's README

lockdown-cli

Lockdown CLI is a command line tool for creating keys and adding credentials to credential store files.

Usage information can be found in lockdown-cli's README

lockdown-gradle-plugin

The Lockdown Gradle plug-in is intended for use in Gradle builds, to allow teams to easily expose the ability to add/update credentials in credential storage files without requiring all team members to install the Lockdown CLI.

Usage information can be found in lockdown-gradle-plugin's README

Generating Keys

Lockdown includes a key generator, which is mostly easily used via lockdown-cli. All generated keys are of PEM format (PKCS#1), which is currently the only format accepted by the library.

See more information on PEM keys/formats

Handling Key Files

Using public/private keys, there are two main things to keep in mind. Public keys are meant for encrypting data - they can be shared without significant risk to allow anyone to encrypt data the holder of the private key can understand. The private key is the "secret" in this pattern, and should be protected the same way a password would be
