Please note, all Ubuntu Touch development discussion happens on ubuntu-phone mailing list.

Instead the userdata partition is encrypted and applications/services that need access to it are restarted after the volume is unlocked. > Will Ubuntu-Touch offer users a full-phone-encryption setting when released > that requires password at every startup/boot? > At the moment, initial Ubuntu Touch release might not have that feature fully integrated but the kernel support to implement ecryptfs and/or dm-crypt(LUKS) should be there. Similarly to android, it is currently believed using ecryptfs to encrypt all user data will offer sufficient privacy at a reasonable performance.
