As discussed on irc, I wonder if we should stay away from shipping encryption tech, and instead rely on encryption in the environment (Web Crypto API or shim)? I lean toward this, so that Filer can stay simpler and smaller, and we can let the browsers deal with the hard parts of doing encryption well. Users who want encryption can upgrade to browsers that support it.

Depends on size. If we can get this small enough I'd like to ship it. If not, backup plan is to rely on browser implementation.
