Hey guys, Having a seamless security system, is something I think is very important and have been thinking a lot about this recently.
I recently wrote a proposal for desktop security, and maybe this might give you something to think about when designing security on the phone. http://blog.sambull.org/security-design As a quick thought about what I'd like to see. I would like to keep the current design, with no lock screen. Then have a settings page where you can choose which applications to lock. If you try to open one of the locked applications, it unlocks it with your keyring, asking for your password if needed. It would be even better if we could also allow more fine-grained control, as supported by each application. So, for example, the telephony application could allow you to access it and view everything, but require a password from the keyring in order to make a phone call or send a message. This fine-grained control should be available in the same settings page. As the phone is used differently to a desktop, I would suggest that the keyring would automatically re-lock after a time delay (like 10 mins), when the screen is switched off, or a combination of both. I might make a mock-up of the settings page when I get back later. What do people think about this design?
