The RSA cryptographic key material, including a private key and public key, is embedded within the application package. Because Android applications can be extracted and reverse engineered, storing private cryptographic keys directly inside the client application may allow an attacker to recover the keys and potentially use them to impersonate the application, decrypt protected data, or generate unauthorized cryptographic operations.
