The idea is to store an identifier or credential that allows to
authenticate someone. Thus, the information should be known neither by
the phone user, malware nor third parties.

Now the question is: how to make possible to keep such a "secret"
secure inside the phone?, how to prevent that this information can be
copied and used by an illegitimate user?

Up to now, I consider the private folder of the application a suitable
place for this task. However, the fact that the user cannot obtain
direct access to it, does not mean that it is not vulnerable to being
copied or accessed by a privileged user.

If someone has ideas, welcome!
