This class was deprecated in API level 23.
Use KeyProtection.Builder instead.

Builder class for KeyStoreParameter objects.

This will build protection parameters for use with the Android KeyStore facility.

This can be used to require that KeyStore entries be stored encrypted.

Example:

 KeyStoreParameter params = new KeyStoreParameter.Builder(mContext)
         .setEncryptionRequired()
         .build();

setEncryptionRequired

Added in API level 18
public KeyStoreParameter.Builder setEncryptionRequired (boolean required)

This method is deprecated.
Data at rest encryption is enabled by default. If extra binding to the lockscreen credential is desired, use .Builder#setUserAuthenticationRequired(boolean). This flag will be ignored from Android S.

Sets whether this KeyStore entry must be encrypted at rest. Encryption at rest will protect the entry with the secure lock screen credential (e.g., password, PIN, or pattern).

Note that enabling this feature requires that the secure lock screen (e.g., password, PIN, pattern) is set up, otherwise setting the KeyStore entry will fail. Moreover, this entry will be deleted when the secure lock screen is disabled or reset (e.g., by the user or a Device Administrator). Finally, this entry cannot be used until the user unlocks the secure lock screen after boot.

Parameters
required boolean

Returns
KeyStoreParameter.Builder This value cannot be null.
