How long would you be willing to wait at boot for full disk encryption?

Hi Patrick

Personally I don’t think 5 minutes would be to long. If a high --iter-time ( ≥ 3000,000) became the norm most users would not even notice after while. Maybe some complaining at first. However, the problem lies with users not shutting down their box when they normally would.

“Maybe I’ll take my dog for a walk but leave my box running because I don’t have the time to boot up again”

I’m not sure most people would be committed to good OpSec. Maybe the 1% who really need it?

+1 @0brand, so true

Here is an experienced fellow talking

So I would say everything in a range of 3-5 minutes is acceptable.
