hello, hak5
I have an idea for a screen locking security app, I don't know if it already exists and to be frank, I'd would be surprised that someone hasn't already thought of it before.
Here the concept a phone lock-down app that prevents the phone from unlocking and or be unencrypted until it's with in a specific GPS spot. you would select a specific GPS point or coordinates that would then lock than phone screen until you reach that spot. the use case scenario would be someone transporting sensitive information from one location to another and you don't want anyone being able to access the device and can't send or store it over the net. it would not be one you use every day just when you want no one has access to the device.
I have a background in hardware and while I understand and know some coding/programming it's still very rudimental I was wondering if this is even feasible or practical with Android or IOS ( I'm assuming it will be harder with ISO). and moreover, if it's even a practical idea in term of security and encryption. what are your'alls thoughts?
