Well no, you have already detailed the crucial vulnerability in this panopticon: the devices can not be trusted. Trying to do encryption and secure communication with untrusted devices then is utter folly. I'm just astonished by the breadth of vulnerability in modern smartphones, particularly with Googles handling of Android security. We haven't even gotten into baseband vulnerabilities yet because the whole applications processor security thing is just an entirely crumbling piece of cardboard.
