We just need a UX which makes it impossible to know how many profiles a phone has configured. Not some kind of sneaky hidden mode that you can be labeled a terrorist for having enabled, just that's how it works--you have to know a profile exists in order to log into it. Of course it's not going to stand up to forensic scrutiny, but that's not what the feature is about anyhow.
- digiown 9mo agoFor an organization, a better strategy is to never store anything of value on the phone, and have a remote server in a safe place. The phone acts as a thin client to access server. The key in turn is easy to hide in a plausibly-deniable way or simply memorized. The server can also revoke the key, rendering it useless even if it is revealed at a later date. This is famously used by Uber to protect their systems from the French police, for instance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uber_Files#Kill_switch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uber_Files#Kill_switch
