The security and privacy of users nowadays are quite important aspects. They who define a brand / product are safe to use. In this sense, companies are increasingly aware when manufacturing devices and services. One of the most talked about measures at the end of last year was the encryption of data from smartphones.

Google is one of the companies that invest in security and in its web services or in the most used mobile operating system in the world Android. But … is it really that Lollipop is safe and protects the user?

In September last year, Google has pledged to strengthen all defenses around the personal data of users, now, it seems, this is not happening in their latest version of Android, leaving so for the manufacturers the option to enable or not encryption on your devices.

Indeed also the smartphone makers are not set on your devices with Android operating system Lollipop automatic data encryption, functionality that Google would have said that would be applied by default.

And the proof is the Motorola smartphones E the Samsung S6, the Nexus 6 and the Nexus 9, according to Ars Technica not have the encryption of user data enabled by default. In a document released by Google on January 11, it can be seen that the company softened its demands because the specifications we can find a statement, stating that manufacturers must enable full data encryption by default, leaving open the possibility that functionality be required in the near future.

With this raise some issues of course, but do users who use Android devices Lollipop have your data backed up? And what is the reason why Google to not make this mandatory functionality to all manufacturers?
