Well, SMS obviously can't do GPG due to character limits - however, there
are dozens of varieties of secure SMS tools currently on Android. It seems
that some variety encryption could be supported by the default client -
much like OTR for Pidgin, etc.
Not that it should default to it - that would be awful. But that it should
be able to have an easy to enable option.

There's a lot of people world wide mad about security right now - and if
Ubuntu Touch can eventually ship with a good basic set of security options,
it will appeal to people who otherwise might have no reason to use it.
