Why is locking your phone not sufficient to secure its contents?
There are no secure smartphones (devever.net)https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10905643
Assuming the phone is not remotely exploited.
Wouldn't be surprised if this is because the phones are TOO secure. Maybe they want them to use phones with built-in back-doors so they can keep an eye on them.
I guess you're thinking what if the phones get hacked by someone else and steals personal information?
Seems like a huge security risk, but phones have similar capability.
Any idea if this phone is just as vulnerable to having it's keys extracted from memory - physical attacks - as every other phone on the market?
well most "security mechanisms" on phones are a joke.
Military / covert state ops reliant on customized phone apps probably. I guess the solution is to smash the phone after like on TV.
If it's possible to be a server side issue, then no phones are ever secure.
