even if an Android application would communicate with others 100% securely, Google has wireless administrator privileges and can be served secret letters that can order Google to do anything, so technically they could log the data before it's encrypted.

- jMyles 11y agoWill an I/O audit of the network interface will detect this?
- drcross 11y agoNo. How do you propose that it would?

- jMyles 11y agoI don't really know much about what kind of network chatter Android generates generally, but I imagine that, even if its encrypted, you can detect that there's suddenly network traffic to Google? And then, depending on how silly the eavesdropping is, repeating the same message might cause the same encrypted payload to be transmitted?
