Package: debian-installer Version: Severity: wishlist Tags: d-i Dear Maintainer,
I think it would be good to have an option, that could be ticked or un-ticked, to set up an encrypted home folder during installation. The only other easy option for encryption presented is using the entire disk and setting up encrypted LVM - which is often better, but there are times when this wouldn't be best (or both?). The mechanism for doing so is described here https://wiki.debian.org/TransparentEncryptionForHomeFolder , but this is fairly complex and slightly outdated, and easy security and privacy are something we should try to encourage. They offer a tick-box when installing ubuntu and derivatives, which performs this function (although not full encrypted LVM like debian), which is good. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.13-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
