[edit] Contents
The NSF basically is a collection of Notes. A Note in concept is similar to that of an object or item; mainly a container for data and metadata. Notes are used to store a vast variety of items, e.g. emails, documents, appointments, log-entries, data-views, forms, etc.
[edit] Encryption
Notes can use various forms of encryption see: Notes from Support: Notes Encryption - Locks for a Digital World.
