I see your concerns, but why should this be part of arch?
Secure access protocols give you protection in transit,
and security on the target system depends on who controls it.
It would make sense if you wanted to keep it secure on
a system that you (or someone you trust) does not control.
But then it would still be more a responsibility of the
storage layer, not of arch directly. It seems arch has
an abstraction layer for file system access and that is
where one could place a hook.
