Don't think that is what they are going for here.
I know, I'm just wondering if it has the capability.
If I remember correctly from some conversations in Slack, you will have the option to create a private/encrypted Alias with DIONS.
Not sure how this will work with transactions though.
You may want to join their Slack and ask this question.
Correct. Messaging is optionally encrypted. Transactions not.
You can see it as this: storing data in the IOC chain can be encrypted if you see fit. "messages" can be seen as "data".
So every future "data" storage is optionally encrypted.
