Hi, I was just wondering where you found the information stating that the data was only protected on the way to the server, but not on the server. Encryption is done by the client using an encrytion key that it create and since the key is never passed from client to server, there is no way for the server to de-crypt the data before storage.
Please let me know, as I would like to look at the documentation.
