Análisis de la app Biometrics API Playground para 31 de mayo

Biometric Playground is an open‑source demo app that helps developers and curious users explore Android's BiometricPrompt and Keystore‑backed public‑key authentication. Enroll a key with your device biometrics, validate with a secure challenge, inspect status logs, and clean up keys — all in one place. Highlights - Enroll: Create a device‑protected key pair (Android Keystore) gated by biometrics or device credentials. - Validate: Use BiometricPrompt to authenticate and sign a server‑provided challenge. - Delete keys: Remove previously enrolled keys from secure storage. - Configure endpoint: Point the app at your own demo API to test real challenge/response flows. - Inspect logs: See step‑by‑step status messages for each action. How it works - The app generates a hardware‑backed key pair (where available) and stores it in the Android Keystore. - When validating, the app prompts for biometrics and signs a challenge. If you configure a server endpoint, the public key and signatures are sent to that server for verification. - No raw biometric data ever leaves your device — only cryptographic material and metadata needed to perform verification. Privacy and data - No ads. No analytics. No tracking. - Biometric templates never leave the device; the OS handles them. - Keys live in the Android Keystore and can be deleted at any time from within the app. - If you use a custom server, only the public key and signed challenges are transmitted. Permissions - Uses the system BiometricPrompt. No special runtime permissions are required beyond enabling biometrics or device credentials on your device. Requirements - Android 8.1 (API 27) or higher recommended for BiometricPrompt. - A device with fingerprint, face, or device credential enabled. Open source This app is open source.
