So glad you asked!

The main one is that files sent to trash are encrypted. So that a private key is required to restore them.

Ideally even the meta data is encrypted.

I've watched too many kids spy movies from the 2010s with files restored from trash!

Edit: just wanted to add I just mean via GPG! Rather than asking encryption be added to the application.

This is a great idea! I hadn't thought about it. I'm currently fixing the major bugs and refactoring the code a bit, and when I finish that, I'll get to your idea, I find it really interesting.
