The latest version of Android, Google has taken steps to prevent unintended apps send unencrypted traffic. According to Google, there are many Android apps that exchange encrypted data, but sometimes it happens that there is inadvertently communicated unencrypted.
It may be for example a change in the server which uses the app http links instead of https links. The app then communicates unencrypted, without this being visible to the user. Something both app developers and users do not need to stand out. For applications that communicate encrypted only has the latest Android version, Marshmallow, two security measures accidental fall back counter on unencrypted traffic. App developers, these measures have to add to their apps.
For example, during development, the measures ensure that apps already in production unencrypted traffic will be blocked and will the app when encountering unencrypted traffic crash. “It is a best practice to only secure network traffic for communication between your app and use its servers. Android Marshmallow let you enforce in practice, so give it a try!” Said Alex Klyubin the Android Security Team. According to figures from Google would run 4.6% of Android devices on Android Marshmallow.
