Encrypted Phone?

Post Posted: Wed May 02, 2012 8:57 am

I was wondering if anyone has come across the following:

Powered off Google/Samsung Nexus S

Upon powering on, the following screen appears:

"Please enter your passphrase then click "next".

Upon entering an incorrect passphrase, the following screen appears:

Whisper Systems Beta

Incorrect Passphrase

Try Again? Reset?

Selecting 'Reset' indicates that if you continue, the phone will be wiped.

A search on Google indicates WhisperSystems was run by a 'Moxie Marlinspike', and produced something called WhisperCore, a full device encryption product for the Nexus One and Nexus S.

Has anyone encountered this?

Thanks,

Berntsson

I have tried this on a GNexus, it is exactly what you described
