> The entire point of encryption is to enable the transport of secure data across insecure or adversarial channels. You can either own things and keep them secret, or encrypt them. Doing both kind of defeats the purpose of the latter. An scenario where encrypting locally makes sense is protecting confidential data when an attacker has physical access. For example, encrypting your disk so that losing your laptop in the train does not expose all your local files.
