UBports testing home directory encryption |
 |
The UBports team are adding home directory encryption to their mobile operating system. "Alfred has been doing some work on home folder encryption using the FairPhone 5. He showed a video of a FairPhone 5 booting up and decrypting after entry of a passcode. It uses fsScript. The intention is that the encryption should be automatic. At the moment, not all of the components needed are in the rootfs but the intention is to add them. The Lomiri greeter also needs a rewrite to incorporate the changes. The biggest challenge still remaining is to get the virtual keyboard to display during start-up. The encryption and description mechanism is not engaged every time the screen display locks." Additional information on progress going into UBports can be found in the project's newsletter. |
