>Android 7.0 is moving encryption from full-disk encryption

don't know details (link pls?) but sounds horribly weak

bad for security, great for FBI.

tl;dr
We're getting rid of full-disk encryption and replacing it with user file-space encryption.

>not reading anything
THey introduced it so you can have different files with different users with different passwords encrypting them.
If anything, it means even normies with mom and pop having two different accounts not having to share their own password.
Tho i would still rather have FDE, i don't share my devices, it's like if i shared my asshole with others to poop with.

maybe now someone hacking your phone won't give them full system access

At first glance, it looks like an attempt to try to catch up with iOS. I'd need to see more details about the ecosystem to really evaluate it - in particular looking at the Keymaster HAL and Trusty TEE.

It doesn't look to be quite finished yet.

First glance still, and there are lots of potential gotchas, but it's probably stronger than the custom dm-crypt based FDE Android has had up until now. At least there's some AE there.
