Kevlar is a security toolkit (library) for Android apps. It is divided in 3 packages (antipiracy, rooting and integrity), each containing specific tooling and components.
Its purpose is to be an auditing tool, used to inspect the security environment on Android devices.
A security environment is the security state of a device, which can be probed with the different packages kevlar provides.
Each package focuses on a specific security environment area:
- antipiracy detects the presence of pirate software installed on the device (user-wise security);
- rooting detects the presence of root access, custom binaries, and abnormal OS status (system-wise security);
- integrity detects certain types of tampering attempts your app may have been targeted with (app-wise security).
Kevlar is intended to be used any time it is deemed necessary to determine whether the device your app is running on can be regarded as secure, according to your policies and security requirements.
