Why not make a phone which is secure by default?
- ignoramous 5y agoEasier said than done because of the attack surface, but I do think the industry will respond given Androids are the most widely-deployed, always-connected, computers in use out there. I don't think just securing the hardware is enough (though, even that isn't fully done), the software itself remains hard to tame. Add to the fact that folks (including attackers) can "install" arbitrary things on their Androids, the problem gets only worse. Then, there's the social and legislative aspects as well. For example, no one can raid your home without a search warrant, that's illegal. Similar thing needs to exist in the digital space. This at least thwarts illegal spyware, if not the law enforcement themselves from snooping about people's digital lives.
- faeyanpiraat 5y agoOkay so the real issue here is that people want convenience, which requires "N" number of features, which results in an attack surface of "too large to make it secure".
