modify sync protocol to allow bundles to be sent and stored encrypted #312

Open darinmcgill opened 2 weeks ago

If the body and possibly comment of bundles could be encrypted then the hosting company that stores the data could store data in a way that would not allow the hosting company to look at its contents.

So apparently the best way to do this is by finding a high level encryption library that will work across Python, Javascript, and C/C++/Rust/Etc.

Note that this is different, though adjacent, to wanting to cryptographically sign each bundle by the author and include the hash of the prior bundle, allowing chains to be traditional block chains.
