Yes, the new drivers do use image encryption. But your understanding is actually the inverse of the actual problem. fprint under Linux *disables* the encryption bit. When you reboot to windows, the encryption bit is still disabled, but the Windows driver assumes it is enabled. I guess it then tries to decrypt the plaintext greyscale image data, resulting in some jumbled mess which you thought was encrypted data. This is hard to solve properly, but there may be something we can do. Could you please file a bug for this at http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/bugs/ Thanks!
