Have you evaluate how to provide the encryption passphrase? I am mostly
a CLI guy, which means that it would be a pain to tupe the passphrase
with matchbox-keyboard keyboard ATM.
You definitely have a point here! Some options:
a) for me personally matchbox-keyboard is ok, since I'm very
short sighted %-) but taking off the glases will not work
for everyone.
b) I could imagine some (long? complex?) pointer gesture as
input to be transformed into the correct passphrase. This
does, however, mean that the passphrase is stored somehow on
the device :-( Bad idea. Similarly bad for motion gestures.
c) In the future I could imagine the neo equipped with a
RFID reader or some other very short range wireless thing.
The rfid tag could go into the strap of a wristwatch, a
bracelet, a ring or whatever ...
The point is to separate the mantra from the neo as it
should be.
The main reason to have encryption at all is to protect your
personal data in case the neo gets lost. Individually
encrypted files may help, but do not solve entering the
mantra either.
Cheers,
Erich
