android implementation of steve gibsons sqrl authentication

android-sqrl

Creating proof of concept code for Steve Gibson's SQRL. As some of you may know Steve Gibson has suggested a new way to do authentication. You can see the details here https://www.grc.com/sqrl/sqrl.htm. It has potential and I would like to see some proof of concept code. I therefore started throwing something together for Android. It now more or less works, but it needs a lot of improvements. If any one wants to work on it please feel free.

The app now works with the test code here https://github.com/geir54/php-sqrl. Check out http://sqrl.host56.com/ for a demo

If you need help building the code or have questions come join us in #SQRL on efnet (IRC)

The old ECC code has been replaced by https://github.com/dazoe/Android.Ed25519 and the code is now really fast

To build

1. git submodule init
2. git submodule update
3. Import in eclipse and it should work

android-sqrl's Issues

pseudo random number generator

The project needs a better pseudo random number generator. Preferably using the camera as in the grc spec. java.util.securerandom is also a better alternative than what is used today

base64url

The project should use base64url instead of base64

Google play App

Have you any plans to release an app on Google Play?

demo gone

Hi! Looks like php-sqrl and a demo site are gone - how can the sources can be obtained?

Google Play app doesn't recognize (scan) server's QR code

I have opened "http://sqrl.host56.com/ " on my monitor and when I try to scan the QR code from my mobile using the android app, it says "No valid QR code". Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Identity is not loaded.

The function isIdentityCreated is not looking for the file in the correct location.
Should be

public boolean isIdentityCreated(Context con) {
    File file = con.getFileStreamPath("sqrl.dat");
    return file.exists();
}

same goes for function deleteIdentityFile

[Meta] Repo does not include full gradle wrapper.

The repo does not contain the gradle/ directory, which is needed for the gradle wrapper to work on a fresh checkout (gradlew and gradlew.bat are in the repo however).

not a code issue but a question about efnet IRC

Sorry, this is not a code issue but rather a question about efnet IRC.

The README file says the recommended IRC channel is #sqrl on efnet. However, I can't get there. I used 4 entries from the following list to try connect to:
> http://www.efnet.org/?module=servers
all the servers failed for me, for various reasons. Could you please mention the server that works with less friction?
I use pidgin and I'm more or less familiar with IRC.
