I've found a Micro SD card on the pavement and it's encrypted

That's why you don't use the terrible stock android implementation. Generally the risk of losing your data is worse than the risk of it falling into the wrong hands.

lol. How would you use a different implementation when you want to use adopted storage then?

Public key cryptography has many potential avenues of attack that make it really incomparable to symmetric encryption systems thus doesn't support your assertion even ignoring the mathematically unbreakable OTP encryption.

Poodle was one of them wasn't it? That's why SSL is starting to be dropped and TLS is being adopted in the payment transfer industry.

Same as you do on a PC. Use one of the myriad of apps or custom firmware's like cyanogen which can mount encrypted volumes.

Variants of Poodle affect both SSL and TLS, all websites should now be using at least TLS v1.1. SSL3 was deprecated years ago.

I’d have thunk that the card would’ve assimilated @mrk to bring him closer to humanity :confused:

Windows Phone is dead in the water and I can't imagine any average Windows Phone user actually knowing of and/or using this feature.

You can't change the encryption method android uses when choosing to use an SD card as adopted storage. i don't think custom firmware, which in most cases will void your warranty these days, allows it either. What apps allow it?

TLS v1.2 is currently in use for transferring funds. SSL3 was ment to be superseded but some still use it strangely enough

Using a mounted container works the same as adopted storage, apps like EDS support the use of Veracrypt containers which encrypt the entire disk and makes it appear as normal removeable media.

Custom firmware doesn't affect warranty, you can easily revert to stock.
