Device locking is managed in Gaia system app currently, not in gecko. So I believe we either need a hashing support of some kind exposed to content, or we need to an API which control devices locking.
Maybe dev-b2g is a better place for that discussion, but can anyone answer Stephanie's original questions? Anyone working on this? Any considerations if we just start working on this?
