Access Secure element in Android


How can we access the secure element in Android phone. Basically I need to store some secure data and retrieve it, I want only my application to access this data. please let me knwo the steps to do it.


Solution

  • While Android does support a secure element and has some code internally pertaining to it, there is currently no corresponding Java API (see available NFC APIs). There is, however, an effort known as SEEK to create an open source stack for communication with the SE (see the GitHub project), however this is not an official implementation from Google. Last I heard it seemed like Google was leaning toward not providing such an API.
