The tools in this directory are a scheme for autogenerating crypto doc support. The central file is data/crypto_support.json, which is a JSON file that contains the supported API levels for each crypto algorithm that has ever been supported by Android. The categories are identified as described in the JCA, along with a couple extra classes. Each algorithm has up to three properties: name - The name of the algorithm. These are currently normalized to all-uppercase versions, but this produces substandard results in some cases (eg, PBEWITHHMACSHA versus PBEWithHmacSHA), so it could be improved. supported_api_levels: The set of Android API levels that this algorithm was/is supported for. It should be a sequence of zero or more "N" values or "N-M" ranges separated by commas followed by a "N+" value if the algorithm is currently supported. For example: "17+", "1-8,22+", "1-10,15,22-24". deprecated: Whether the algorithm is unsupported at the current API level. This is equivalent to supported_api_levels.endswith('+'), but is included for clarity's sake. Updating the documentation is a three-step process: get the set of supported algorithms, update the data file, then generate HTML based on the data file. Getting the set of supported algorithms is done using src/java/libcore/java/security/ListProviders.java. It's important that this is run using vogar in mode=activity rather than the default of mode=device, as the Android frameworks (in particular, Android Keystore) can add additional support. The data from ListProviders is fed into update_crypto_support.py, which rewrites the data file. Any newly-added algorithms will be added to the file's data, and any newly-removed algorithms will have their supported API levels updated. The preceding two steps can be performed together by running run_update_crypto_support.sh. Finally, format_supported_algorithm_table.py reads the data file and outputs a collection of HTML tables suitable for copying-and-pasting into the docs to stdout. Add --javadoc to produce output appropriate for inclusion in Javadoc.
