[ZendTo] Re: feature request - encryption

[Phil Daws]

That is not a bad idea at all. As this would mean that the recipient would require software to decrypt the file it may become cumbersome.  Perhaps the file(s) are encrypted with a random key and that is then held in the ZendTo database.  When the pickup occurs the file is then decrypted and delivered via HTTPS. Thoughts ?

Subject: [ZendTo] feature request - encryption 

I wonder if zendto can add a feature to encrypt the uploads as it saves the drop-off. The simplest method would be something like this. 

1. The uploaded file(s)/drop-off is encoded using a randomly generated key. 
2. The recipient receives the URL link plus the encrypted key which can be used to decrypt the file. 

This is very useful in that the data is encrypted at rest in the ZendTo server and can be used to store sensitive files
