Ah, you're right, I had it confused with a similar analysis on EncFS which had more significantly damaging findings.

I wasn't even aware Ext4 had native encryption support though! I'll definitely have to give that a go. Thanks for the tip.

According to Michael Halcrow's LinkedIn [1], he was heavily involved on the EXT4 encryption:

"I was also the project lead for encryption in EXT4, which is now available as the mechanism implementing file-based encryption on Android."
