well, to be really usefull the fs should be mounted transparently (hacking in the passphrase on every access seems utterly tedious with that tiny keyboard -- and would probably add to the exposure risk). or you need to store the passphrase somewhere on the fr and access it by some automatic. in both cases somebody finding or stealing your fr would be able to read your encrypted data. please, correct me, if i am wrong. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
