Full list of changes from the previous release (version 42). Notable changes:
- improve dark theme for confirmation dialogs
- make verification result text selectable
- rename "Identity" to "Pairing identity" and add text clarifying that it's the hash of a hardware-backed public key to help clarify that it's not a device/profile identifier
- make pairing identity into the 1st field of the verification result
- make security level into the 2nd field of the verification result
- add verified boot key hash to verification result above verified boot hash
- make it clear which fields in the verification result are pinned for the pairing and either have enforced immutability (device, OS, verified boot key hash) or can only increase (OS version, patch levels, app version)
- miscellaneous string improvements
- reorganize code as part of sharing code with AttestationServer and gradually working towards it being a library
The Auditor app uses hardware security features on supported devices to validate the integrity of the operating system from another Android device. It will verify that the device is running the stock operating system with the bootloader locked and that no tampering with the operating system has occurred. It will also detect downgrades to a previous version. Supported devices:

It cannot be bypassed by modifying or tampering with the operating system (OS) because it receives signed device information from the device's Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) or Hardware Security Module (HSM) including the verified boot state, operating system variant and operating system version. The verification is much more meaningful after the initial pairing as the app primarily relies on Trust On First Use via pinning. It also verifies the identity of the device after the initial verification.
See the tutorial for detailed usage instructions. This is included as the Help entry in the app menu. The app also provides basic guidance through the process. See the documentation for a more detailed overview.
