    • Jami-Version from F-droid

    Android is known to have (had) a serious disk encryption flaw: https://techcrunch.com/2016/07/07/android-full-disk-encryption/ With many unpatched Android devices in the wild the current Jami version puts its user at risk.

    • Actual result: Android devices opened up by attackers (e.g. border authorities) can betray Jami users because all local Jami data at rest is stored in quasi-plaintext.
    • Expected result: All locally stored Jami data shall be protected by an extra layer of encryption.

    This should be fixed to prevent similar risk in the future.
