[Owncloud] Client Side encryption with OwnCloud

[Paul Greindl]

Hi again!

@Cornelius For us who will be hosting ownCloud for other people to use 
this is likewise important as I can't expect anyone to fully trust our 
project...

I'm also wondering if there is any chance to get a feature like this 
merged with the main owncloud sync client? Otherwise it will mean much 
wasted resources if we need to patch each and every new release of the 
client. Hope to hear from one of the core developers :)

regards

Paul
