#RichardMedhurst to #ComputerWeekly: "a phone is at its most vulnerable after you turn it on and enter your passcode. When you unlock the phone, you are placing your encryption keys in the device’s memory [..] the keys can be extracted by actors who want to access your data" https://www.computerweekly.com/feature/Journalist-Richard-Medhurst-had-his-mobile-phone-seized-Did-using-a-secure-phone-protect-his-data
