I just noticed that Morgan mentioned my same point in a previous comment. Ignore mine.

I think this is an interesting idea. What I'm confused about is where the spec for it would live in relation to the spec for Gemini itself. I wouldn't put it in the core transfer protocol, and it doesn't fit with the gemtext spec because it's not gemtext. Are you proposing Dragonlady as a new protocol to live alongside Gemini, like Titan does?

Interesting! Since I don't host my capsule myself, the question of the trustworthiness of a third-party server came up. I would like to see gemini offer the possibility to easily store encrypted data on a foreign server, the approach here sounds exciting.

Dragonlady: Client Side encryption for Gemini — V0.1 Following the tradition of using space themed name, we present "Dragonlady" protocol an addon to gemini to enable client side symmetrical encryption named after the infamous codename used for U2 space spy plane. TLDR This proposal would enable to have client side encryption to gemini with an addon. This is backward compatible with clients not supporting it. We are looking for feedback and we are curious to know what the gemini community...
