Lollipop:The most secured android till date

Yes,it is.Android 5 is the most secure version of android that is available till date.How???Here it is
  1. The best way to secure your phone is to to lock your screen.But many users avoid it.But now you can feel secured from the hackers without that as well.The lollipop has device encryption by default.Google’s full device encryption provides a unique key that never leaves the device and therefore is extremely hard to hack.
  1. Also Google uses Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) to improve app security.Basically, Android 5.0 requires SELinux enforcing mode for all applications on your devices, and this means less wiggle room for a malware attack.

It’s great to see Google making improvements to security in Android, even if the malware/security threat isn’t as big as some would have you believe. According to Google’s own research, less than 1 in 1000 Android users are affected by a malicious local software attack — that’s really pretty low, all things considered. As for the threat of theft? There’s really not much Google can do to prevent theft, but at least they can continue to improve the OS so that would-be thieves can’t get their hands on vital information.

For more details on Android 5.0’s security improvements be sure to check out Google’s official blog post.
