Part of UX improvements for sharing local files (#342)

Idea extract from #34 (comment) and ipfs/ipfs-companion#342

Provide easy way to share secrets

  • encryption and decryption happen client-side (JS)
    • use well known, audited library
  • an option to encrypt content before upload via AES
    • uploader can choose enter a secret (password) for encryption or it will be generated automatically
      • ideas: it can be a "password" in proquint form, or a "key" in hash part of the URL
    • produce additional static landing page that instead of details about uploaded data prompts receipent for secret required for decryption
    • after decryption, show regular landing page (Design: Share files via IPFS #34 (comment))

Some poc/prior art:

  • https://github.com/jbenet/ipfs-senc – simple private file sharing on ipfs.

    part of making ipfs-senc is to give people something to experiment with in making, getting, viewing encrypted content, so we can get a better idea about usage flows and then later design better tools for it.
