Google Makes A Location-Based Security Patent Application

According to the latest headlines, Mountain View has applied for a patent for a technology that will edit your smartphone’s security settings based upon your location.

The new technology from Google will enable users to have higher or lower security settings on their smartphone device depending upon where they are at the time. For example, the technology may require users to log in with an authentication code if they are out of the known perimeter. There is no news on when this technology will (or if it will) be implemented yet but stay tuned for more news as it comes out!
