[Nepomuk] Indexing encrypted filesystems

[Ivan Čukić]

> then why dont you just encrypt everything? What would be wrong with that?

In order for nepomuk and plasma active to work, the encrypted stuff
would need to be mounted on boot
 - not everything is private, no need to encrypt everything
 - no way to enter the password on a touch device before x starts,
leading to a lot of complications
 - if it is mounted on boot, all data is accessible to all programs
that are running and all users of the device (not covering all the
use-cases PA wants to cover, including a theft of an already running
device)

Encrypted folders are mounted *only* when the user is in a private
activity, and is encrypted using the password that is
activity-specific.
