App Security Api Cordova Plugin

The plugin enables the use of security properties and capabilities on the platform, using a new set of API defined for application developers. You are not required to be a security expert to make good use of the API and plugin. Key elements, such as encryption of data and establishments of capabilities, is abstracted and done by the plugin, for you. For example

• Use the plugin to store (E.g. cache) data locally, using the device non-volatile storage. Data protection/encryption will be done for you by the plugin
• Establish a connection with remote server (E.g. XHR) using a protected channel. SSL/TLS establishment and usage will be done for you by the plugin

For more information please visit our API documentation @ https://software.intel.com/en-us/app-security-api/api Additionally please see our demo application "MyPrivateNotes" https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/article/my-private-notes-sample

How to use the plugin

This example is for Android but applicable for iOS and Windows 1. Create a new Cordova project Cordova create AppDir com.intel.security AppDir

2. Navigate to the Cordova project directory
	cd AppDir

3. Add android to the project
	cordova platform add android

4. (Optional) Verify that Android was added correctly
	cordova platform

5. Add the plugin to the project (use a local copy)
	cordova plugin add /PATH/TO/YOUR/LOCAL/COPY

6. (Optional) Verify that the plugin was added correctly 
	cordova plugin

7. Build the project
	(Optional) for windows build instructions please see below
	Cordova build 

8. (Optional) Run the project
	cordova emulate	(SDK emulator)
	-or-
	cordova run (connected device)

Cordova 5.1.1 Windows build flow To overcome some gaps/issues with native library build in Windows we provide a workaround script (ChooseArch_Windows.js) that you should use before step 7 (build the project). Copy the script from plugins\com.intel.security\src\windows to platforms\windows and run it from platforms\windows directory. Run the following command in a shell: node.exe ChooseArch_Windows.js

To build the Windows project per architecture please use the following commands:	
Windows 8:
Assuming MSBuild is at "c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\"
    c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild CordovaApp.Windows80.jsproj /p:Platform=x86 /p:Configuration=Release /t:rebuild  
    c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild CordovaApp.Windows80.jsproj /p:Platform=x64 /p:Configuration=Release /t:rebuild 
    c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild CordovaApp.Windows80.jsproj /p:Platform=ARM /p:Configuration=Release /t:rebuild 
Windows 8.1:
    cordova compile windows --release --arch=x86 -- --win
    cordova compile windows --release --arch=x64 -- --win
    cordova compile windows --release --arch=ARM -- --win
Windows 10:
    cordova compile windows --release --arch=x86 -- --appx=uap
    cordova compile windows --release --arch=x64 -- --appx=uap
    cordova compile windows --release --arch=ARM -- --appx=uap
