For those who are interested, Microsoft is working hard to repair its spotty security reputation. At the moment, as far as I know, OneDrive (Skydrive) has the following features: (1) Perfect Forward Secrecy blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2014/07/01/advancing-our-encryption-and-transparency-efforts/What's missing (in my opinion)? (1) Zero-knowledge encryption OneNote has the ability to encrypt notebooks (apparently). However, mobile applications apparently cannot handle the encrypted content yet. Still, it is a good step forward.

You cannot encrypt notebooks in 1N, only sections. And sections that are closed with the password are not searchable.

And sections that are closed with the password are not searchable. This makes sense. Any app with zero knowledge encryption would be the same. Back in the day, Evernote's response to their lack of encryption was that they are an information storage/retrieval system & you can't index/retrieve if it's encrypted with zero knowledge. That was fine for me b/c I normally stored sensitive info only on my encrypted hard drive or my encrypted Amazon S3 server (via Jungle Disk). I used EN for other things that would be pretty useless to a hacker.

Good point about the sections. Thanks! Evernote's excuse was fine with me, and it is OK to say that, but it means it is useless for my situation, and other competitors are passing them by (at a snail's pace, to be sure, but pulling ahead). I can search just fine in VoodooPad and DEVONthink. They are encrypted. So, what's the problem? When you start up the app, decrypt my stuff and let me get to work. Why is it possible for these two services to do it, but not possible for Evernote? I'm just beating my head against a wall with that question
