Chapter 8: Device Security

Running your APK on different versions of Android can have different security problems. In this chapter we’ll look at how Android device fragmentation needs to be considered when you’re writing a secure app. Different environments have different requirements: Corporations have different requirements than individuals, health care needs HIPAA compliance, and government work probably means that your Android phone needs to be FIPS compliant. In this chapter we’ll also look at how Samsung Knox and SELinux or SEAndroid are being used to make your device more secure.
