it seems so
>>More specifically, the new Android safety measure uses public cryptographic logs—digital bookkeeping systems—to show what a Pixel installation should look like. Entries can be appended to these logs when new software is released, but they can't be changed or deleted. In other words, any unauthorized edits are going to stand out.
The logs use what's known as a Merkle tree to maintain the integrity of the records within them, a cryptographic structure that speeds up the process of checking large amounts of data for any tampering. The approach means that much smaller portions of data can be analyzed to identify whether or not any changes have been made.<<
