Securing user data is critical in mobile apps. How are you making sure your app's user data is secure?

If you're an Android developer, you should be using Jetpack Security! It focuses on two means of encrypting data persisted on the device: encrypted shared preferences and encrypted files, and also integrates with biometric and hardware encryption features.

Keep reading to hear more about it from course instructor Joe Howard:

Why should I take your Jetpack Security course?

"Learning how to encrypt data in Android apps has often been a combination of searching through blog posts, Stack Overflow posts, and other sources, and if you did find anything useful, it was often outdated or incorrect.

That all changed with the release of the AndroidX Jetpack Security library at Google I/O in 2019.

In this course, you'll learn how to use Jetpack Security to easily manage security keys and encrypt files and shared preference data."

How can this course help with a common pain point in Android development?

"Ensuring user privacy is a crucial aspect of mobile development.

Jetpack Security simplifies and unifies the API for the encryption of file and preference data.

You no longer have to try to hunt down best practices for encryption, and can instead use the official approach recommended by the Android team."

Can you please share a cool Jetpack Security tip with us?

"Jetpack Security encryption integrates nicely with the AndroidX Biometrics library, used for interacting with device hardware such as fingerprint sensors. Using them together provides an extra layer of security for user data."

Is there anything else we should know about your Jetpack Security course?

"For extra security, you can specify the use of the Android StrongBox KeyStore, available on certain Android devices."
