@Jérôme, Regardless of how you go about it, you'd need to enter a
complex passphrase each time you start your computer, whether it's a
cold boot or after hibernation.

To give a comparison, imagine if Windows introduced a security feature
requiring every user to enter a complex passphrase when turning on the
computer; furthermore, every user on a single computer would need to
know the same shared passphrase (in addition to their own login
password). There would be a worldwide revolt.

Ubuntu would have the very same restrictions.

That's why hibernation cannot reasonably be available by default; the
majority of Ubuntu users are not technically expert, but rather are
"everyday" users and would revolt against this.

Full-disk encryption is available via LUKS (now an option during
installation in 13.10) for those who have the need, and hibernation can
work then; perhaps it should be available by default, but only when LUKS
is being used.
