Excellent idea. Let's ditch the passphrase/pin though, because once we copy the data off phone to another device, brute forcing anything you can type comfortable using a pin or keyboard will be trivial. I really like the "custom drawn symbol" idea. It introduces a lot of variables. Not only the lines, but also the timestamps on when scribbling it.
