It's not necessary (which was one of my goals) -- if the pefs is mounted, any time the application reads or writes an encrypted file the Right Thing Happens. An encryption-aware application can request its databases be saved encrypted; the encryption manager would handle encrypting databases for unaware applications, after which the encryption would happen without any help from the application. _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
