Hi, I am exploring a way to support SD card encryption on android. We need to support only file content level & file name level (not partition level) encryption. I know that LUKS/ecryptFS are good solutions. However all of them are licensed under GPL that prevents integration of proprietary FIPS certified algorithms with them. I have following questions and would greatly appreciate if anyone can answer them.
1) Will integrating the proprietary security algorithms at bionic libc APIs that provide file access routines (fread, fwrite ) a good option ?. We know that there will be a performance drawback due to this. 2) I fear APIs related to file seek, character level reads/writes etc might not be easy to support if we provide encryption from bionic. Please provide any alternative suggestions & your comments for the above queries.
