Proposal: Personal Data Encryption (maybe SoC?)

Hi, I have followed the discussions about elaborate schemes for theft protection on this list, but I think most of them shoot in the wrong direction. Sure, it is desirable to get your phone back, but in reality that is normally not the case. So while we aren't really able to protect the phone
