PROVISIONING AN APP ON A DEVICE AND IMPLEMENTING A KEYSTORE

摘要

A keystore is installed on a mobile app where the keystore is created and provisioned on a server, such as an app wrapping server, under the control of an enterprise. A generic (non-provisioned) wrapped app is installed on a device. The app prompts the user to enter a passphrase. When the user does this, an app keystore is created. It has a user section and a table of contents. The keystore files are hashed, creating “first” keystore hash values. The first keystore hash values are stored in the TOC. The TOC is then hashed, creating a TOC hash value. The passphrase entered by the user is then combined with the TOC hash value. This creates a “first” master passphrase for the keystore. The keystore is then transmitted to the device where it is installed in the generic (non-provisioned) wrapped app.

主权项

1. A method of installing a keystore in an app, the method comprising:
prompting a user to select a passphrase for the app; creating an app keystore with a user section and a table of contents (“TOC”); hashing keystore files, thereby creating a first keystore files hash value; storing first keystore files hash values in the TOC; hashing the TOC, thereby creating a TOC hash value; combining the passphrase with the TOC hash value, thereby creating a first master passphrase for the keystore; and transmitting the keystore to the app on a device, wherein the keystore is installed in the app.
