Re: Privacy support

 

Hi Vlad,

There has been a long standing feature request to have a plugin to allow
PGP encryption of individual pages or individual paragraphs in a page (see
bug tracker for discussion).

I think there are quite a few users that would use this if it became
available.

Reason I did not very actively pursue this is that the encryption will
always be partial. E.g. page meta data will still be visible. My standard
advise is to
use an encrypted file system to store data safely.

If you have private data that you want hidden, it may make sense to have a
separate notebook for that.

Regards,

Jaap
