Encrypted Video Recording for Android

Strongbox

BETA Encrypted Video Recording for Android.

★ On-the-fly encryption: Footage is encrypted as it is taken. Only encrypted data is written to disk, leaving no traces of recorded videos.

★ Industry standard security: Strongbox uses industry standard AES-256 encryption in GCM mode to provide both confidentiality and integrity.

★ Practical security: Lock feature allows you to instantly close down app to prevent access to recorded videos

★ Export safety: Strongbox allows streaming videos directly to your computer to avoid storing unencrypted footage on your memory cards.

Significant parts of Strongbox are based of Ciphercam. Without Ciphercam, Strongbox would not have been possible.

strongbox's Issues

Integrate SQLite Database within IOCipher

Considering that Strongbox creates an encrypted virtual file system, it seems seems unnecessary to use SQLCipher independently. Creating an ordinary SQLlite database within the VFS would reduce the application's overhead.

Hacked device

I have a phone that is definitely been taken over got stacked page settings that can't be altered I don't know I am new to this I want to go to school I'm just a beginner

Missing icon source files causes build failure

I attempted to build the master branch and received errors due to missing icon resources. I'm assuming these were not checked into the master branch.

Frame rate while recording in Portrait

Frame right is fine when recording in portrait, but playback speed is off. File seems to be alright, likely a bug in MJpegViewer

enable fdroid listing

It'd be great if more people could enjoy this Free Software.

Apparently, there is an issue with some jars in the project which prevents this project from being listed: https://f-droid.org/wiki/page/poly.darkdepths.strongbox

I hope this can be rectified.
