Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

HarmonyOS 4 was officially launched at Huawei developer Conference 2023 (HDC.Together) on August 4, bringing users a fun, smooth and secure intelligent experience, and privacy security features are also upgraded to create a pure and secure application environment through application risk behavior control and application anti-tracking.

These new features once again demonstrate Huawei's determination to manage malicious applications and the importance it attaches to protecting users' privacy. He Gang, chief operating officer of Huawei terminal BG, said: "Huawei has always regarded network security and privacy protection as the company's top priority, and is committed to protecting users' privacy through industry-leading innovative technology."

New application management and control center, more visible and more reassuring

Non-standard installation of applications and authorization will lead to the disclosure of private information, and then endanger personal and property safety. HarmonyOS 4's brand-new application management and control center, from intercepting the installation of risky applications, managing and controlling the operation of risky applications, to minimizing the authorization of risky applications, to create a comprehensive, pure and secure application environment for users.

The new application management and control center supports universal cards, through more explicit and visual card design, real-time risk reminder and automatic interception, so that users can better understand the security status of mobile phones and feel more at ease to use mobile phones.

The new Application Management and Control Center also optimizes risk control in various scenarios to ensure user privacy through strict control of application permissions:

When the user mistakenly touches the induced installation pop-up window and accidentally downloads the application, the system will actively intercept and remind the user, and the user can choose to cancel the installation; when the user actively installs an application that may be at risk, the system will automatically add the application to the application control center to run under control, such as forbidding its access to sensitive permissions such as location and microphone, while concealing private data such as contacts and phone records. When it is detected that there is risky behavior in the operation of the application, such as pulling up other applications without the user's knowledge, the application control center will also actively intercept.

In addition, users can view the application security report within 7 days in the application control center, understand the application risk, adjust the application permissions in time, and control the risk behavior.

Apply tracking management to let users make their own decisions

Mobile applications have become the main position for most users to obtain information, shopping and consumption. At present, there is still a phenomenon that some application developers steal user information at will. Developers maliciously track users' behavior and abuse data to push advertisements. This not only affects the daily use experience of users, but also threatens the personal privacy and security of users.

HarmonyOS 4 comprehensively upgrades application tracking management, providing fine-grained management capabilities that change the developer's ability to obtain device identifiers from uncontrolled to authorized. Application tracking management provides a unified entrance to manage application tracking rights. Users choose whether to allow applications to track their activities in other applications and websites, determine whether personal information is "interconnected", and return the choice of data to users.

Application of tracking management function

HarmonyOS builds a pure and secure system base to fully protect the privacy and security of developers and users. At Huawei developer Conference 2023 (HDC.Together), Gong Ti, president of Huawei Terminal Business Software Department, introduced the upgrade of HarmonyOS in software root technology, which mentioned that Hongmeng kernel is based on security design without RooT permission. The key modules of security system have been formally proved and highly recognized by the industry. Obtained the world's first intelligent terminal operating system field CC EAL 6 + certificate, the highest level of vehicle specification safety certification ASIL-D, and industrial field functional safety certification IEC 61508 and so on.

In the digital age, data security and privacy protection are the basic needs of users for products. With the continuous evolution of each generation of HarmonyOS, the research and design of user privacy security has always been placed in the first place. In the future, Huawei will continue to adhere to the concept of "protecting privacy with innovative technology" and provide transparent, controllable, simple and reassuring privacy and security protection barriers to protect the safety of users.

Attached: HarmonyOS 4 upgrade plan

From the day of the HDC.Together launch on August 4, Huawei will launch public trial upgrades for 34 products, including HUAWEI Mate 50 series, HUAWEI P60 series, HUAWEI Mate X3, HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.6in, and pollen Beta recruitment for HUAWEI P40 series, HUAWEI Mate 30 series, HUAWEI nova 9, HUAWEI nova 10 and other 35 products. In addition, Huawei will also launch HarmonyOS 4 adaptation updates for Huawei smart meters, smart screens, routing and other products in the second half of 2023. There will be more device upgrades in 2024, and consumers are welcome to participate in the upgrade and experience the new HarmonyOS 4.
