TiddlyWiki has the ability to encrypt the TiddlyWiki. I don't use it often but I do use it on one private Wiki that is accessible over the Internet. I would like to do this on NoteSelf but when I try, it just ignores the encryption setting/flag and continues without encrypting anything.

I've setup CouchDB (the back-end tool used by NoteSelf) and have NoteSelf working (tested and confirmed). But the encryption doesn't happen and I never get prompted for the decryption password. I've looked into the CouchDB back-end to confirm the content isn't encrypted. 

Is it possible at this stage to use client-side encryption (what TW5 does) with NoteSelf? If so, some pointers?

Isn't there a way to encrypt individual tiddlers? The mechanism used to load tiddlers from CouchDB is unrelated to the encryption mechanism in TiddlyWiki. TiddlyWiki on NodeJS does not support encryption either.

I believe someone created a per-tiddler encryption add-on/module but I can't find it now. I have never tested it.

The built-in encryption with TiddlyWiki (that prompts for a password when you load the wiki) does not work with NoteSelf, I've tested it. I also verified with my tests that the back-end (couchdb) has the individual tiddlers in clear text.

The single tiddler encryption plugin is also by Danielo:
