How can Huawei be "independent" when smart phones expose fatal privacy loopholes again?

As an indispensable "external organ" for every modern person, intelligence mobile phone There is no doubt about its importance. However, the numerous private information contained in it has also become a "rich mine" for criminals to seek gold. Under such circumstances, any loophole in the mobile phone may cause huge property losses to users, and such loopholes always exist in unexpected ways.

Recently, citizenlab, a privacy research organization, released a security report, which showed that in its research on 9 mainstream mobile phone clouds typewriting In the test of, all 8 models have serious vulnerabilities, including both products from major Internet manufacturers and input methods developed by mainstream mobile phone manufacturers. Hackers can use these vulnerabilities to steal users' input content or implement network eavesdropping.

The only product that passed the test was Huawei mobile phone The built-in Xiaoyi input method. As the official preset input method of Huawei mobile phones, Xiaoyi input method is developed in strict accordance with Huawei's security specifications. When it comes to cloud side function calls, data is transmitted using secure encrypted channels to ensure 100% security during data transmission. And the service needs to pass strict security tests before it is released to ensure that users' private data will not be disclosed. However, as a company that engraves privacy security into its core, Huawei's efforts in privacy protection go beyond that.

one Go deep into the bottom of the system and secure the privacy fence

"Privacy security" is never an abstract concept, but a real demand of users in the life scene.

Huawei mobile phone users may find such a detail: when they share photos with friends using Huawei, they can choose not to share sensitive information such as the photo shooting time and location. This is exactly the privacy security function set by Huawei based on the current situation that users like to share, and it is also one of the many privacy security functions in Harmony OS.

Huawei's privacy protection for users is embedded in countless such scenes and daily life details.

At present, almost all businesses can be handled on mobile phones. What should I do if my password is stolen? What if I lose my mobile phone? Various APP and Software What about "stealing" users' information? These use scenarios are exactly the problems Huawei needs to solve to ensure user privacy, and the solution is innovative technology.

In daily use, users are most worried about rogue applications stealing their own private information. HarmonyOS has built system level application management and control to solve this problem, so as to ensure the security of mobile information.

In the application development phase, developers need to conduct real name authentication to ensure that each application is from a legitimate developer; When an application is released, Huawei's application market will conduct a comprehensive inspection of the application. After passing the inspection, the application market will sign and publish the application to ensure that the application source is reliable; In the installation phase, HarmonyOS will conduct security detection on applications to ensure the security of installed applications and prevent users from installing malicious applications of unknown origin; During the application run, HarmonyOS will also detect unknown threats based on the application behavior with the end side AI technology to quickly identify malicious fee deduction, information theft Remote control , deception, fraud and other malicious acts.

Worried about applications secretly calling privacy permissions? The built-in privacy center of HarmonyOS will make real-time statistics and record the behavior of all mobile phone applications accessing sensitive information such as cameras, microphones, locations, files, multimedia, contacts, etc., and present the image of application sensitive behavior in a graphic representation. If the application is detected to use the permission unreasonably, the Privacy Center will suggest the user to turn off the permission. Users can also add the privacy center card to the desktop to view the use of permissions in real time.

For those applications that maliciously track users' use behavior, HarmonyOS starts directly from the root, allowing users to control applications to obtain device OAID (anonymous device identifier), which greatly improves the difficulty of malicious tracking applications.

These seemingly concrete technologies cover the common scenarios of users and protect the privacy of consumers. It is also understood that Huawei has cooperated with domestic and foreign authorities in the field of privacy and security, and has obtained more than 20 authoritative certifications such as ePrivacySeal, CCEAL5+, ISO27701, etc.

two Take network security and privacy protection as the highest program of the company

In Huawei, privacy security is not only a technical topic, but also a matter of principle.

As early as 2019, Ren Zhengfei, the founder of the company, solemnly announced in a letter to all members that Huawei had placed network security and privacy protection at the top of its corporate development agenda.

This top-level guiding ideology is specifically implemented in the field of consumer products, which is reflected in Huawei's belief that "consumers should have a complete right to know and control their own privacy." Since the product conception stage, Huawei has deeply embedded the concept of privacy protection, and established four core principles of "transparency and control, user benefit, security assurance, and legal compliance", Ensure that these principles run through every step of product development, constantly improve products and services, and safeguard consumers' privacy rights.

Transparent and controllable means that Huawei's processing of users' personal information is clear and visible, and users can make the next decision according to their own wishes; User benefit refers to the use of personal information to enable users to have a better experience; Security assurance means that Huawei products adopt a number of industry-leading privacy security technologies to effectively protect users' privacy; Legality and compliance means that Huawei strictly complies with the privacy laws and regulations of all regions and countries in the world in the whole process of product design, development and service.

In addition, Huawei also strictly protects personal data stored on terminals and the cloud, ensures that all data collection activities are completely open and transparent to users, and gives users autonomy in collecting, processing and sharing their personal data.

Not only that, Huawei has recently brought the update and upgrade of HarmonyOS 4.2, which has taken the pure security experience to a new level. On the one hand, the harassment interception is upgraded again, and the new application "shake the advertisement" jumps to intercept. HarmonyOS 4.2 provides the user with the permission control switch of "application obtains device direction", that is, whether the application can obtain the current rotation information of the device. As long as the user turns off this ability of an application, it can avoid the problem of shaking the advertising interface of the application and mistakenly flicking the mobile phone to trigger access to the advertising interface. At the same time, in terms of security risk prevention, Harmony OS 4.2 has brought comprehensive fraud prevention, whether it is phone calls, SMS messages, web pages or malicious applications, which can fully protect users' use experience.

three summary

Huawei's HarmonyOS system has built a more secure and pure digital environment for users through its advanced security and privacy protection functions. Against the background of frequent security problems in the current operating system, Huawei's persistence and innovation provide users with a trustworthy choice. Through continuous technical upgrading and optimization, Huawei is committed to building a more secure and pure HarmonyOS world, so that users can enjoy their digital life with ease.
