Required Header

#include <dpm/security.h>

Overview

Security policy group provides APIs to control security functionality such as device encryption and screen lock. Any API which requires privileges is only available for the registered device admin client which is enrolled to the device by enrollment process.

Functions

int dpm_security_lockout_screen (device_policy_manager_h handle)
 Locks device screen immediately.
int dpm_security_set_internal_storage_encryption (device_policy_manager_h handle, int encrypt)
 Encrypts or decrypts internal storage.
int dpm_security_is_internal_storage_encrypted (device_policy_manager_h handle, int *is_encrypted)
 Checks the internal storage encryption state.
int dpm_security_set_external_storage_encryption (device_policy_manager_h handle, int encrypt)
 Encrypts or decrypts external storage.
int dpm_security_is_external_storage_encrypted (device_policy_manager_h handle, int *is_encrypted)
 Checks the external storage encryption state.
int dpm_security_wipe_data (device_policy_manager_h handle, dpm_security_wipe_type_e type)
 Wipes external memory, internal memory, or both selectively.
