Overview
A Flutter package designed for securely storing sensitive data such as credentials and tokens, specifically tailored for integration with AWS Amplify services. It leverages platform-specific secure storage mechanisms—like Keychain on iOS and Keystore on Android—to protect data at rest. The package provides a simple, consistent API across multiple platforms, ensuring that secrets are encrypted and inaccessible to unauthorized processes. It is intended to be used internally by other Amplify packages but can also be utilized directly in apps requiring secure local storage.
