When Apple released iOS 8 Wednesday , followed it with an encryption system to be so certain that no one except the user can break it.

castigated Google
Neither Apple, for they are not the keys. Even when the police show up to court ruling in hand, Apple will be able to give them information about you and your mobile usage.

Apple boss Tim Cook announced a long television interview this week a big deal out of this and took the opportunity to crucify Google and Facebook for what he believes is their lack of respect for users’ privacy.

Open letter
Later he published an open letter about the same topic on the Apple website.

– We do not create a profile based on the content of your emails or surfing habits and then sell this on to advertisers. We do not make money on the information you store on your iPhone or iCloud. And we do not read e-mails or messages for information about you that can be used in the market, writes Cook including in the letter.

If the auto-encryption
Google obviously could not sit still and listen to this.

Instead of barking back to Cook, they respond now with the same type of encryption in the upcoming version of Android, Android L.

Not again
Night to Google today confirmed that the system encrypts data automatically, and that this is an effective barrier against both criminals and authorities that will snoop on you.

Encryption in Android is not something new. However, what is new is that Google is now so focused on that – in the wake of Edward Snow Its NSA disclosures and Tim Cooks bitter criticism.

– Do not think
– For over three years, Android offered encryption. The keys are not stored outside the unit, so they can not be shared with police. With our next Android version will be encryption turned on by default out of the box. Thus, you do not think about turning it on, according to a statement from the company that came in the night Norwegian time.

Android L has already been available for testing for quite a while, and during the autumn rolled out at different speeds on different phones and tablets.
