Google details more new security features in Android Lollipop
Security is one of Google’s major focus points with the latest version of Android, and in a blog post they’ve detailed exactly what goes into making your Android more secure once it’s updated to Lollipop.
The post talks about a few of the new security features in Lollipop, including the revamped smart lock settings for your device. It’s a great idea to put a pin or password on your phone’s lock screen, but it’s inconvenient to have to put that code in every time you unlock your phone. Fortunately, the smart lock stuff will let you automatically unlock your device when it’s connected to a trusted Bluetooth device like a smartwatch. Plus, there are also options for NFC and an improved facial recognition unlock.
Device encryption is another bullet point, and as we all know, all phones with Lollipop will be encrypted by default. Google is also pushing SELinux, which is great for app security. The SELinux Enforcing Mode is required for all apps on Android 5.0, which really helps more on the enterprise side of things.
