I think encrypting popcon submissions in an excellent idea. Thanks for 
working on this. :)

Your popcon submission is stored in /var/log/popularity-contest, 
unencrypted. If you don't believe it's the only data that is sent to the 
popcon server, you can read the fine source (it's <400 lines of code). I 
don't suppose any of these is going to change.

What other kind of "certainty" did you have in mind?
