Hardening Chamber Privacy with SQLCipher AES-256 & Biometric Auto-Lock
How to configure 256-bit database encryption and hardware biometric authentication to protect attorney-client privilege.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Open Security & Authentication Settings
From the More screen, select 'Settings' > 'Security & Privacy'.
Enable Biometric Authentication
Toggle 'Biometric Lock (Fingerprint / Face Unlock)'. AdvoKosh interfaces with AndroidX BiometricManager enforcing BIOMETRIC_STRONG hardware security.
Configure Auto-Lock Inactivity Timeout
Select lock timeout duration (Immediately on App Switch, 1 Minute, 5 Minutes, or 15 Minutes).
Inspect SQLCipher Database Status
Review the 'Database Security Status' indicator confirming 256-bit AES-CBC full database encryption with Android Keystore backed key derivation.
Toggle Screen Blur / Recents Protection
Enable 'App Switcher Privacy'. AdvoKosh applies FLAG_SECURE to prevent sensitive case names and client details from showing in Android's recent apps switcher or screenshots.
Expected Outcome
Complete protection of confidential client strategies and court documents even if your phone is handed to court staff or colleagues.
Important Points & Common Pitfalls
- Leaving screen lock unconfigured on the Android device, which prevents hardware-backed biometric authentication from activating.
