Safety by Design: Embedding Trust in Android from the Ground Up

Session Description:

In a world where mobile apps are gateways to opportunity, security must go beyond compliance, it must be intentional. This talk explores Safety by Design (SBD) as a proactive framework for integrating safety, security, and trust into Android apps from the earliest stages of design and development. We’ll unpack practical strategies Android developers can use to prevent misuse, reduce harm, and empower users, especially those from marginalized communities. From secure UX patterns and permission management to ethical data handling and inclusive threat modeling, this session blends human-centered design with robust security principles. Join us as we reimagine Android development not just for performance, but for protection: because safety isn’t a feature, it’s a foundation.
