Encrypted devices require a password to unlock storage at boot. Without that, it can't boot as all the /data partition is locked.

It is this password that decrypts storage. From that point on, whilst booted, you simply have a normal password. The device is unencrypted at that point.

That said, no one knows what changes in encryption will be implemented with L
