问题
I am generating an Asymmetric key pair in the Android key store as below: I have used the public key for symmetric key wrapping and storing the wrapped key to a file. When I try to unwrap symmetric key using the private key, I am able to do with in that instance. Once my application is re-installed, I am unable to get the key store entry with the alias. Please help?
KeyPairGenerator kpg = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance(
KeyProperties.KEY_ALGORITHM_RSA, "AndroidKeyStore");
kpg.initialize(new KeyGenParameterSpec.Builder(
Constants.KEY_STORE_ALIAS_NAME,
KeyProperties.PURPOSE_ENCRYPT | KeyProperties.PURPOSE_DECRYPT)
.setKeySize(Constants.ASYMMETRIC_KEY_LENGTH)
.setBlockModes(KeyProperties.BLOCK_MODE_ECB)
.setEncryptionPaddings(KeyProperties.ENCRYPTION_PADDING_RSA_PKCS1)
.build());
keyPair = kpg.generateKeyPair();
// Code for accessing the key store entry to un wrap the symmetric key
KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("AndroidKeyStore");
ks.load(null);
KeyStore.Entry entry = ks.getEntry(Constants.KEY_STORE_ALIAS_NAME, null);
PrivateKey privateKey = ((KeyStore.PrivateKeyEntry) entry).getPrivateKey();

Keys stored in Android Keystore are non-extractable. It is a security measure
Security Features
Android Keystore system protects key material from unauthorized use. Firstly, Android Keystore mitigates unauthorized use of key material outside of the Android device by preventing extraction of the key material from application processes and from the Android device as a whole. Secondly, Android KeyStore mitigates unauthorized use of key material on the Android device by making apps specify authorized uses of their keys and then enforcing these restrictions outside of the apps' processes
This means that the keys can not be part of the Android backup service in any way. It allows to store application data on the cloud once the application is uninstalled. See HowBackupWorks.
It would be a serious security risk that private keys could be extracted and stored in cloud or even that they remain stored in the device when the application has been uninstalled
If you need to use an encryption key that does not depend on the reinstallation, you could generate a symmetric key from a user passphrase using a key derivation algorithm
