Encrypt data between handheld and desktop using shared secret.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Since people are so paranoid about the links they send, it might be a good idea 
to include some form of encryption in all the 'clients'. This could be 
implemented by simply offering to specify a shared secret/password on all the 
involved devices (handheld, browser plugins, ...) and using that secret to 
encrypt/decrypt the data. (Mozilla Weave, a.k.a. Firefox does this with 
people's bookmarks/history/... before synching it to the Mozilla Cloud or one's 
self-hosted server. Only the metadata needed for the synchronization remains 
unencrypted.)

This is a wonderful idea, and one that I'll look into. It will have to go on 
the backburner as I attempt to fix bugs and get more clients online, but I'll 
toy around with it as I get time.

Likewise, if someone wants to submit a patch, I'll take a look at that and 
probably will end up merging it. :)
