again, you switch topics. i am not trying to solve the problem of using a simple pin to get real security. i think google just showed us that this is a fool’s errand. you are trying to make me sound like i am making an outlandish claim of security expertise exceeding google, but i am simply not talking about that problem.
this is about using the off-the-shelf LUKS solution that jolla already uses, which most of the security folks on here say would be good enough with 128-bit keys.
as a project manager, i’ll be the first to admit that projects that sound this simple can have major unforeseen obstacles, but i would absolutely be willing to work on a PR for this soln right now:
- allow alphanumeric FDE key entry
- do not use the screen unlock PIN for FDE of $HOME
