Lockdown Mode

Activating lockdown mode increases the security of your system by enabling encryption of all SDK logs and sensor data, as well as displacing home position information to a volatile disk partition, such that any reboot would cause the data to be erased.

To activate lockdown mode, navigate to the Device settings page on Vozilla:

After activation, your device will reboot automatically. SDK logs and sensor data for all new sessions will now be encrypted. Vozilla API and journal logs remain in plaintext, however, we do not log any sensitive information over these channels in lockdown mode (e.g., home position, coordinates, etc.)

You need to reset the home position after each reboot once you activate lockdown mode.

Lockdown mode encrypts SDK logs and sensor data. It does not encrypt the raw map data.

Audit your device

Once you've activated lockdown mode, run a security audit to check whether your device contains logs with sensitive information exposed in clear text:

This security audit checks key log locations on your device for plain text log files and common sensitive information patterns, such as:

• Journald logs

• Vozilla API logs

• Cyclops logs

• Sensor recordings

If you see reported failures, make sure to address them to remove sensitive information from your device.

Activating lockdown mode does not delete previous logs or recordings on your device.

Delete offending logs

After running an audit you may choose to delete plaintext logs to ensure no sensitive information remains on your device.

Updating the firmware causes the lockdown mode to reset.
