Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows where are stored the PGP encryption keys to decrypt the email bodies from the ProtonMail Android app?

In the "MessagesDatabase.db", I am able to see some information about the emails (Sender, recipients, subject, timestamp) but the email body is encrypted with PGP.

According to this blog article from ProtonMail (https://protonmail.com/blog/android-client-security-model/), on Android, the public and private encryption keys are stored locally on the device. However, they don't specify where (obviously).

This article also mentions the use of a custom wrapper to encrypt some data that would be left in plain text.

Does anyone know where could be located the private PGP keys? I guess I would then need the PGP password to decrypt the body, but I'll deal with that when I get to it.

Thanks
