The Google will activate the functionalities of encryption by default in the next version of Android . It is a measure that reflects a larger trend in the ICT sector to ensure better data security.
The Android has been able to encrypt information for over three years, since with the encryption keys stored on the devices recalls a spokesman for Google. This means that this, or a service provider would not be able to provide access to the encrypted data. When you turn on encryption for standard users need one less step to enable the feature. Many are not aware of the option.
The measure also protects users in other types of scenarios, such as those in which the equipment has been lost. The authorities also have to deal directly with users of devices for information. The next version of Android, L, is still in a state preview for developers and is scheduled for release later this year.
Many developers are trying to make applications and systems, for which there have encryption keys, which could be obtained by the authorities through a court order. While many tech companies have committed to fight against overly invasive, court orders generally end up having to fulfill those appropriately designed.
However if only the encrypted data passing in their data centers, and keys to decrypt the information remain in possession of their users will have little to deliver. And that is what many service providers prefer access.
