Password/PIN Security #22

Either on app entrance or on send - on send might be easier. Thanks to CryptoDude for the suggestion!

Are the private keys themselves encrypted at rest? If not, maybe the password/PIN can be used as a key to do so. That way, the password/PIN will always be needed every time a private key is involved.

Would this be an acceptable library to use?

I was hoping to try and help implement this, and was looking at a few existing pin / password prompts, this one caught my eye, (largely because I'm a fan of the pattern locks).

Yeah that would be acceptable if it used encryption packaged in SpongyCastle, which is currently packaged in the app.
