System
Criterion Value Proof(s) Comment
Authentication with other systems Partial [6] Basic authentication (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi) works; advanced integrations limited.
Communications Encrypted with obselete encryption [7] Uses older TLS versions/3G encryption (outdated by modern standards).
Storage Encrypted with obselete encryption [8] Relies on Android 5.0-era disk encryption (less secure by current norms).
Category score 2
User Authentication
Criterion Value Proof(s) Comment
Account management Basic [9] Basic account functions (login, simple profile management) are available, without advanced administrative capabilities.
Authentication Basic [10] Supports basic methods like password and pattern unlocking, but lacks modern biometric authentication (such as fingerprint or face recognition) and secure hardware keys.
Brute-force protection Basic [11] Has basic protection like temporary lockout after multiple failed login attempts, but the implementation is based on the older Android 5.0 system, which is less robust compared to modern standards.
Event logging Partial logging [12] Logs some access events (e.g., failed login attempts), but the logging is not comprehensive or detailed.
Passwords Require change after setup [13] Requires setting a password when the device is first set up, but there are no strict requirements for password complexity (due to being based on the legacy Android system).
