[LIST] Banking Apps on /e/OS

Hi,

Here is the reason I got from Finom on why it doesn’t work on /e/os:
To be fully transparent, the issue stems from important security protocols we must follow.

Our application requires a highly secure environment to authorize payments. While we appreciate the privacy-focused approach of /e/OS on your Fairphone 6, unfortunately, Finom is not able to support this operating system at the moment.

Here’s a bit more detail to explain why:

  1. The Security Requirement: For custom operating systems, financial apps rely on a public list of verified boot key fingerprints provided by the OS developers. This helps our security systems confirm that the device is secure and running a trusted build, even in a “SelfSigned” state.
  2. The Comparison: For example, operating systems like GrapheneOS publish an official, up-to-date list of these verified boot key fingerprints for each device and build. This allows developers like us to safely verify and support those devices.
  3. The Current Issue: Unfortunately, the developers of /e/OS do not currently publish an official list of these verified boot key fingerprints.

Because this list is not available, our system cannot verify the security integrity of the operating system. For strict security and regulatory reasons, we are unable to bypass this requirement.

Can /e/os publish this fingerprints ?

Thank you
