// Example of setting up a JobScheduler with security considerations
import android.app.job.JobInfo;
import android.app.job.JobScheduler;
import android.content.ComponentName;
import android.content.Context;

public class MyJobService extends JobService {
    @Override
    public boolean onStartJob(JobParameters params) {
        // Start the job in a secure context
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onStopJob(JobParameters params) {
        return false;
    }

    public void scheduleJob(Context context) {
        JobInfo jobInfo = new JobInfo.Builder(1, new ComponentName(context, MyJobService.class))
                .setRequiredNetworkType(NetworkType.CONNECTED) // Ensuring a secure network
                .setPersisted(true) // Job persists across device reboots
                .build();

        JobScheduler jobScheduler = (JobScheduler) context.getSystemService(Context.JOB_SCHEDULER_SERVICE);
        jobScheduler.schedule(jobInfo);
    }
}
