- MatthewPhillips 16y agoChrome has a very robust security model that includes, among other things, auto-updating and a verified boot (version numbers cannot go backwards). For example, if a device is detected as being hacked, an update will be initialized and then a reboot. And if a device is stolen, it's basically useless since ALL user data stored on the device is encrypted (and can be remote-wiped anyways). Here's everything: http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/security-overview http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/s...
- trotsky 16y agoEverything that Matthew said plus the ability to easily reload from a cryptographically good backup copy of the OS if it detects anything has gone awry without disturbing your "applications". I'd highly suggest following the link he gave, it is a very interesting revue of many modern and practical security approaches.
