Oblivion

Remote lock and wipe triggers for compromised or unattended devices.
Oblivion is a security-focused Android application that allows a user to lock or wipe a device when compromise is suspected.

The application is intended for high-risk situations such as device loss, forced unlock, or temporary loss of physical control.

Trigger methods:
* Panic button (Quick Settings tile)
* Remote message containing a secret code
* QR code based device identifier sharing
* Automatic triggers
* Trigger when the device has not been unlocked for a configurable period of time (including support for GrapheneOS)

Actions:
* Perform a factory reset (wipe)

Device control is implemented using the Android Device Administration API.

Security notes:
* Only encrypted devices can guarantee that data cannot be recovered
* The application does not function in Safe Mode
* For baseline device hardening, see Sentry
