And a few phone manufacturers are putting a hybrid of hardware and software technologies in place in their newest models. Samsung phones with Knox technology in them do this, as do newer iPhones that include proprietary hardware to protect encrypted data. The downside of such a hardware solution, of course, is that it can't be introduced remotely to older modeled phones in the same way a software update can be.
有些手机厂商还在最新款的手机中采取了硬件与软件技术相结合的模式。比如三星在最新款的手机中整合了Knox技术,新款iPhone也内置了用来保护加密数据的专有硬件。不过硬件解决方案的缺点是没办法远程“种”到老款手机里,不像软件方案只需一次软件升级就能解决这个问题。
Regardless of whether smartphone makers take a software, hardware, or combined approach to theft prevention, one of the biggest challenges they have yet to figure out is where the manpower to monitor and regulate a kill switch function will come from. When someone wants to resell a used phone legally, for example, how can they transfer kill switch capabilities to the new owner safely and securely? "How do you validate that it's the right person trying to kill the device? Someone could kill your phone if they know your password," Kemp says. "So far no one has figured that out yet."
不管手机厂商使用的是软件方案、硬件方案还是软硬件相结合的防盗方案,目前他们仍有一个最大的挑战没有解决,那就是由谁来监管手机的“自杀”功能。比如说,如果有人想要合法地转卖自己的手机,那么他应该如何把“自杀”功能安全地转让给新用户?坎普说:“你怎样证明这个让手机‘自杀’的人不是小偷?因为只要有人知道你的密码,他就可以让你的手机‘自杀’。目前还没有人搞清楚这个问题。”
