The latest version of the Android operating system Lollipop adds encryption by default, along with a variety of easy to use tools for locking and unlocking the phone and safer to help protect the device against current threats basis.
Google has described the characteristics of Lollipop, which will be on new Android devices in the coming weeks. While some tools such as encryption, are already included in the KitKat Android operating system, the new version uses by default.
With Lollipop, developers have an opportunity to make improvements in the operating system level and real progress in building a trusted platform.
Google classifies its Android security efforts into three groups, which consist of the construction of a trusted platform, adding additional services to help secure devices, and support for additional security for open ecosistemaAndroid.
Lollipop helps users to easily lock their devices in front of the most important danger: the loss or theft of a device.
For this, the company has encryption enabled by default, placing all data on a smart phone or Android tablet into a digital safe that should be impossible to breach.
The measure, which has caused great consternation among the agencies responsible for law enforcement and intelligence means that users no longer have to make the decision if they want to activate the feature or not.
Google has also created SmartLock, a powerful tool that allows the phone is automatically locked and can be unlocked through a variety of factors, such as facial recognition, or proximity to a specific device. Because most users do not set a passcode on your phone, Google expects the technology SmartLock can convince users to use this mechanism for easy use locking to protect the device if it is lost or stolen.
Google has also invested in the use of safety improvements for proyectoLinux, known as SE Linux to harden the bases of the Android operating system.
Most security allows the operating system to better isolate applications from each other and prevent a malicious application to access the software on the device.
As a way to target your security efforts into the future, Google is using business intelligence with information from its users to find out what the real threats to Android devices are.
