The upcoming
Android operating system from Google will encrypt data by default as
the company has worked hard to make its OS a lot safer and secure
than before. So, Apple is not the only company that making its OS
secure and fed-proof, Google’s upcoming Android platform will be
encrypted by default as per the Washington Post.
Since 2011,
Android has provided an optional encryption on some of the devices,
but very number of experts is known how to turn on the feature.
Moreover, the company is also trying its hands on designing the
activation procedures for new Android devices in order to make
encryption automatically.
When someone
will enter the password, he/she will be able to see the pictures,
communications stores on those smart-phones and videos. We all know
that Android is one of the most popular operating systems for
smart-phone and it offers a degree of protection, which looks like
what Apple on Wednesday began offering for iPhones, a biggest
competitor of Android operating system.
Now, we can
say that both the company holds encryption that is not possible for
other law enforcement officials to collect evidence from smart-phone
even when establishment get lawfully compulsory search warrants.
The
company’s spokeswoman Niki Christoff said “For
over three years Android has offered encryption, and keys are not
stored off of the device, so they cannot be shared with law
enforcement.” She also added “As part of our next Android
release, encryption will be enabled by
default out of the box, so you won't even have to think about turning
it on.”
It was one
such move that has been in the works for past several months, but
finally, it is part of a broad shift by American technology companies
as these companies wanted to make their products more opposed to
government snooping in the result of disclosures of National Security
Agency spying by former contractor Edward Snowden.
Google and
Apple expanded the use of encryption, and it will give a huge impact
on law enforcement officials, who have warned from past several
months that restrictions on their accessing make it extremely
difficult to prevent and solve crimes.
In short, we
can say that Google’s this move of bringing automatic encryption
solution that known as Android L OS is for pushing its improvements
in data security so that millions of users worldwide do not get any
problem.
