The Identity
Credential APIs provide an interface to a secure store
for user identity documents. These APIs communicate with the
credstore system service which in turn use the Identity
Credential HAL to communicate with Secure Hardware.
The Identity Credential HAL is accessed through
IIdentityCredentialStore which provides an interface to a secure
store for user identity documents. To the extent possible, specification of
the message formats and semantics of communication with credential
verification devices and issuing authorities (IAs) is out of scope for this
HAL. It provides the interface with secure storage but a credential-specific
Android application are be required to implement the presentation and
verification protocols and processes appropriate for the specific credential
type.
