It seems that Google is taking the security section of its Android operating system very seriously, at least when it comes to your own Nexus terminals. The fact is that it has been learned that this company would be working on an advanced alert system in the event that security problems are detected when the company's phones and tablets are started.
In this way, when starting a Nexus terminal (and we will see if this is the case in the rest of the Android models, although taking into account all the benefits it would offer, it normally is), an integrity check is carried out of the operating system itself. And, in the case of detecting a security hole either due to modifiers or lack of protection, a notice will be sent on the screen so that the user is aware of what is happening.
Of course, at the moment it is unknown when this new and interesting functionality will start. May not be included in Android M, since the arrival of this development is very close and, therefore, it is possible that we have not had time to integrate it. But, the case is that it is clear that Google searches its operating system and Nexus devices increase protection that you have so that users are as calm as possible.
Color codes
Yes, in the messages that are sent to the screen when detecting a security problem, there will be a color code so that the owner of a Nexus knows in a very visual way what is the severity of the problem you are having. The least important will be yellow, and for example this could mean that a different operating system than the original has been started. The next step is the orange, which warns that the verification carried out cannot determine with total accuracy the development that is integrated. Finally, there is the color notice Red, which indicates to the user that what is detected on the phone or tablet is not trustworthy and that they have to take action on the matter quickly and radically.
This clearly indicates that the prevention system is housed in the boot sector of the Android device in question, so we are talking about a fairly efficient checking option. Of course, the user will always be given the option to continue with the operation of the phone or tablet on a regular basis, since it is possible that what is detected is something that is known by the owner. We will see if the effectiveness of this is good and the hackers they are not able to skip protocols easily.
The fact is that it seems that Google works for limit security concerns on Android and, by extension, on your Nexus. Does it seem like a good idea to you what the Mountain View company is working on?
