Only /data is encrypted. Manufacturers may change the default behavior.
niejuhu From: Jacob Date: 2011-12-24 14:37 To: Android Security Discussions Subject: [android-security-discuss] Full Disk Encryption question I've reviewed "Notes on the implementation of encryption in Android 3.0" (http://source.android.com/tech/encryption/ android_crypto_implementation.html) and was hoping for some additional detail/clarification about the behavior of FDE in ICS. Which portions of the filesystem are encrypted when FDE is enabled? Things that seem potentially worth encrypting on the Nexus S include: 1) /system 2) /data 3) /mnt/sdcard (which is internal flash memory) 4) /cache Are all of these encrypted, or only some? Is the answer consistent across phones? Thanks, Jacob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Security Discussions" group.
