1796411 - Better key management

Status: NEW

(Firefox for Android :: History, task)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

From github: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components/issues/10123.

https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components/pull/10054 introduced first steps towards a more principled approach to key management.

Currently, that's all done within the context of a credit cards storage. It's also quite bare-bones - e.g. there's no telemetry, etc.

We have the same basic need in other places - namely, for managing the key used to encrypt the FxA state, and another key used for protecting the logins db.

This issue is for generalizing what's appropriate out of https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components/pull/10054 so that we can use these building blocks for all our keys.
