[guardian-dev] Fwd: Conceal: efficient storage encryption for Android

[Nathan of Guardian]

Seems like we might learn some things about minimizing OpenSSL from the
project below. Also, just another interesting tool.

I find it interesting that — as we almost did at one point — they’ve
chopped down OpenSSL to 85KB, wrapped it in Java, and ended up with an
efficient storage interface for encrypted data.

This might finally put us in a place where we’re OK keeping profiles on
an SD card. We might also consider using this for secure backup/restore
of profile data.
