NSUserDefaults+SevenSecurityLayers.h (Obsoleted, this is no longer maintained)

• A category which provides an encryption layer for NSUserDefaults to securely save data .
• Using strong AES 356-bit encryption

####Benefit:

* Secure user data just by one line of code.

* Support obfuscating your key in binary source

* Able to save data without encryption

* Enable to handle exceptional case via built-in NOTIFICATION

* Enable using standardUserDefaults as well as securedUserDefaults parallelly

How to use

Note: Remember to install dependency first

• CocoaSecurity 1.2.4 (https://github.com/kelp404/CocoaSecurity)

In the implementation file, import NSUserDefaults+SevenSecurityLayers.h

#import "NSUserDefaults+SevenSecurityLayers.h"

Initialize a secured UserDefaults with a secret key.

//Recommend: Should put the secret key in implementation file to secure your key.
//Warning: Must specify the secret key before using or you get **Exception**

NSUserDefault *pref = [[NSUserDefault securedUserDefaults] setSecretKey:@"Your secret key"];

// >>> DONE! That's it, a secured storage has been created already for you to save any data later. <<<

//Demonstrate saving data

[pref setBool:YES forKey:@"DataIsSecured"];
[pref setString:@"AES 356-bit" forKey:@"KindOfEncryption"];
[pref setString:@"v1.2.0 available" forKey:@"ObfuscateSecretKey"];
[pref setString:@"Able to save data without encryption" forKey:@"KeepOrigin"];
...
[pref synchronize];

//Demonstrate retrieving data

bool yourBool = [pref boolForKey:@"DataIsSecured"];
NSString * yourString = [pref stringForKey:@"KindOfEncrytion"];
...

###Advanced usage

• v1.2.0 available

• Obfuscate your secret key

  Shouldn't use this ~~NSString * theSecretKey = @"putYourKeyHere";~~

  Try this way :point_right: NSString * theSecretKey = @"".p.u.t.Y.o.u.r.K.e.y.H.e.r.e;

• Store data without encryption

  `[pref setObject:@"yourValue" forKey:@"yourKey.nonSecured"];`
  
  Or
  
  `[pref setObject:@"yourValue" forKey:@"yourKey".nonSecured];`
  

• Migrate data to secured storage

  `[NSUserDefaults migrate:[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] to:pref clearSource:YES];`
  

Supported NOTIFICATION Events

• NOTIFICATION_CANNOT_RETRIEVE_ENCRYPTED_DATA
• NOTIFICATION_CANNOT_STORE_ENCRYPTED_DATA
• ~~NOTIFICATION_SECRET_KEY_NOT_SET~~
• ~~NOTIFICATION_STORED_DATA_HAS_BEEN_VIOLATED~~
