This time, Google has taken its step towards security; it recently released new security measures for its pixel smartphones named Binary Transparency. This new update will improve the security and safety of the internet for the users. Now the users will get more visibility in security features they interact with regularly; for instance, spam. It also assures the users that their device is running on a safer and more secure operating system.
With this security system, Google is providing more transparency through Android Verified Boot that will show how it protects the users from all the executed code coming from a believable source, not from any attacker or any other. This new program will answer a new signal of attacks that target the user’s software supply chain. And for this, Google audits factory images on Pixel devices to make sure of any attacks.
The company’s main aim to develop binary transparency for its Pixel devices is mainly for the parties that need the supplementary guarantee. Through this facility, Google points out how Android Verifies Boot supplies a more user-friendly alternative or warning if any issue occurs.
Regarding this new transparency in security, Google stated that;
“Pixel Binary Transparency now expands on that function, allowing you to personally confirm that the image running on your device is the official factory image—meaning that attackers haven’t inserted themselves somewhere in the source code, build process, or release aspects of the software supply chain.”
