Revision history [back]

Hello Sailors! As far as the implementation of encryption just arrived, i wonder if you could enlight me on "how does it works"... I have been reading a couple of times this article, but i still left with wonders (article: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011115540) My questions are:

1-As far as the password is typed when booting the phone, then all phone is decrypted right? Then if i just lock the screen, the phone doesnt get encrypted again right? That explains why you cant decrypt phone at boot with finger print but can "unlock" casually later the booted phone with finger print, right?

2-If my first assumtion from first question is correct, then: what is the point of encryption in a phone that is encrypted only when "shutted off", since most people never switch off their phones? And that if the device is stolen it would likely be switched on at that moment, screen locked but booted on already...

3-does encrypting the phone affects its overall performance?

4-How secure already is the "old" code protection from lock screen (that we have for many years now) and why and how is it less secure than the new encryption??

Thanks a lot!
