    Yeah that aligns with what I know about it.

    It’s great that a phone is secure when it’s locked but issues while the phone in use seems to get talked about less.

    I’ve used graphene before and it does a great job of implementing some robust security measures that are active during regular use - just saying I wish there was more of a focus on this from this POV.

      What do you mean here? If a digital forensics team, police etc gets their hands on your phone while it’s unlocked there really is nothing that can be done, unless you have some sort of killswitch attached to the USB port lol

        Sorry if I was unclear - I meant accessing/exfiltrating data / C&C type shit while you’re using the phone through whatever means.

          They do though. Here’s a couple off of the top of my head:

          • Granular permissions
          • enhanced sandboxing
          • hardware memory tagging and other memory corruption related explotation attempts
          • lockscreen pin scrambling
          • and I’m pretty sure graphene was the first to have the auto reboot feature to trigger BFU
