Could you build this?
Partial The web interface and app are buildable, but a trustworthy remote wipe depends on Android device-admin internals, secure credential design, and testing across devices including GrapheneOS, which needs security expertise.
What it would actually take: The system would use an on-device Android app that registers with DevicePolicyManager and a server-side or client-side web flow that signs a wipe command using pre-shared emergency credentials. The hard parts are designing the credential and replay-protection scheme so a stolen device cannot be abused, and verifying behavior across OEM ROMs and GrapheneOS. This calls for a security engineer with Android internals experience and a device lab for testing.
