Android 10 Comes with a Galore of New Security and Privacy FeaturesByBill Toulas-September 4 2019.729 Android 10 allows users to set unique, much more stringent software permissions. Also the system for biometric authentication has been strengthened and significantly tightened. The next major release of the world’s most popular mobile operating system has landed and for a straightforward “Android 10,” Google has dug the dessert names. In addition to the planned Ui enhancements features enrichment and support for new technology such as foldable phones and 5 G internet Android 10 comes with significant improvements in privacy and security. Google has unveiled nearly 50 new features in this area promising higher levels of transparency and ultimate control over what is happening on our computers in far greater data protection for users. Starting with the most significant of them all users can now set strict permissions and limits on how the apps access the location of their computer. In particular, users can only allow an app to access the location data when it is in use and running in the foreground. Once the user turns his attention to somewhere else the connection to the app’s location data will be stopped even if the operation is not done. On the same chapter Android 10, additional permission for network-based location scanning will now be needed. Not permitting access to non-resettable computer identifiers such as the Imei number to avoid tracking apps. For those who like using external storage, such as an Android 10 Sd card, apps can now create private sandboxes to protect data from unauthorized access. The app will have to do it through the MediaStore system if shared media files need to be used. For Android Pie and Android 10 taking things even further on the security aspect of the mobile Os we have already seen a great deal of work going on that part. First of all the user data that is stored in Android 10 is encrypted with iantum. Additionally, the default Tls format was bumped up to version 1.3 which is a big over 1.2 revision. From a practical perspective Tls 1.3 makes it harder to eavesdrop on a target device. Google engineers have integrated multiple hardening enhancements and improvements into the BiometricPrompt system, with implicit and explicit authentication at the same time becoming more reliable and much easier. With Android 10, there will hopefully be no abrupt apps loading from the background and jumping into the foreground. These annoyances will be thwarted by new restrictions on how background activities begin.
