What I'd like to see is an easy way of storing *all* important data (phonebook, SMS, addresses, pictures, music, you name it) on the microSD card instead of the internal flash. Then I can just make one large encrypted 2GB LUKS partition on the microSD card and everything is encrypted. When the phone is rebooted or the microSD card is removed, the data is safe until the passphrase is provided. One remaining question is if the user manually wants to lock the phone during use (usually with a PIN). We can't really unmount the microSD card because then the phonebook is unavailable and incoming calls can't tell who is calling (and thus how to treat the call). So I guess it remains mounted all the time, which considerably lowers security of course. Perhaps the phone should unmount the card after you enter the wrong PIN a few times, or enter a special PANIC-PIN. -Sven _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
