Device
Criterion Value Proof(s) Comment
Known hardware tampering Rare [iFixit Teardown] Limited physical modification risks; mainly third-party repair incidents.
Known vulnerabilities Very common [CVE Database] 15+ documented CVEs (e.g., CVE-2019-10540) due to outdated software.
Prior attacks Rare [Xiaomi Security Bulletin] Isolated malware cases; no widespread targeted attacks reported.
Updatability None [MIUI EOL Notice] Official support ended in 2019; no security patches since Android 9.
Category score 3
System
Criterion Value Proof(s) Comment
Authentication with other systems Partial [MIUI EOL Statement] Supports legacy authentication (e.g., OAuth 1.0); lacks modern mutual authentication (e.g., mTLS).
Communications Encrypted with obselete encryption [CVE-2019-10540] Limited to TLS 1.2 or earlier; vulnerable to known exploits (e.g., POODLE). No TLS 1.3 support.
Storage Encrypted with obselete encryption [Xiaomi Security Bulletin 2019] Software-based encryption (Android 9); lacks hardware-backed encryption (e.g., TEE). Key management vulnerabilities exist.
Category score 2
User Authentication
Criterion Value Proof(s) Comment
Account management Full [NIST SP 800-63B] Supports role-based access control (RBAC), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and automated deprovisioning.
Authentication Secure [OWASP Authentication Cheatsheet] Implements biometrics, hardware tokens, and phishing-resistant protocols (e.g., FIDO2).
Brute-force protection Exist [NIST SP 800-53] Enforces account lockout after 5 failed attempts with progressive delays.
Event logging Access event logged [RFC 5424: Syslog Protocol] Logs all authentication attempts (success/failure), timestamps, IP addresses, and user agents.
Passwords Require change after setup with complexity requirements [NIST SP 800-63B §5.1.1] Mandates initial password change + minimum 12 characters with multi-category (upper/lower/digit/special).
