Hi! I was wondering since i seen the encryption feature on the list :
what it is supposed to be encrypted and why? (beside https which is obvious)
Because, with the exception of encrypting files on the client (one by
one before getting uploaded), i see no point of encrypting anything ..
so i ask in order to educate myself :)

Thanks,
Adrian
