We've seen Luzi and mhen in recent Security SIG weekly IRC meetings
talking about the proposed specs for Cinder, Glance and Nova.
However most of the representation in the Security SIG is from
people involved in VMT work as well as some contributors from the
Keystone and Barbican teams. As much as I'd like to say the Security
SIG is a sensible place to drive an effort like this, most teams in
OpenStack aren't really engaged in that SIG and the people who are
regulars to our meetings lack the capacity to act as project
managers in that regard.

I'm happy to state, as a participant in the Security SIG, that I
think having image encryption in OpenStack would be a great feature.
I don't expect that alone helps an awful lot though.
