After our previous bad experience with DIYing stuff that the OS (and specialized encrypted file-system softare) can handle, I think that this should be a very low priority. Anyone paranoid enough to need an encrypted datastore should already be familiar with encrypted file-systems. We may want to add a "README.PARANOID" document to the distribution which gives advice on further securing the Freenet experience (such as firewall modifications, encrypted/stego file systems, choice of web-browsers, modifications to web-browsers etc). For the moment, I would argue that we don't try to implement additional security measures ourselves when there is specialized software out-there which already does the same job.
