GNOME Security Internship - Update 5
This project started with a simple on/off switch in control center that entirely enabled or disabled the USB protection. A respectively so called always on and always off.
Later on we introduced a smarter protection level that was active only when the user session was locked.
While an always on protection seemed a good idea on paper it turned out that the advantages compared to the lock screen protection were very slim.
When the screen is locked both protections have the same behaviour. They only differentiate when the user session is unlocked.
