Mobile phone security
The video talks about phone security and some of the things that I have learned are that
android is built on top of another system, Unix, and in the building of the android system there
are a few security concerns that they are worried about. One of them are the applications that are
used on the android platform. The first concept I learned is the concept of security in the android
platform: There is a concern that the applications might contain malicious software and will
therefore compromise the data, the phone stores lot of private and personal information and
should therefore be protected against such malicious software. The platform is made in a way
therefore to ensure that the applications are secure, this is despite the fact that the applications
are made by different people, there is a strength in the security of the platform.
The second concept is the way that the applications in android are made is quite different
than others and I learned that they have several layers or rather components. The one at the top is
what we all see and what interested me because of its workings. We can call it the activity layer
or component and it provides the user interface that enables us to input data into the phone. The
type of security in this is that the component is made in a way that directs the user input into only
one activity at a time. If a person is therefore inputting a password they are sure that nothing in
the background is trying to read the password.
Another concept of the android that I learned is through the component of content
provider that acts like a database and stores all the information for the apps and provides it when
needed they help run the applications among other things. The security component in this part is
that it has a framework that controls the access to the database and only allows those authorized
to run queries.
