As long as I know I have done nothing wrong, why encrypt anything?

Example:

I am an IT consultant. I don't do anything ILLEGAL. However, i have passwords for *ALL* my clients stuff, which includes administration passwords for *ALL* their stuff.

Furthermore, i often work on databases containing *SENSITIVE* data (which means, according to Italian law, that i MUST be *VERY* careful when i handle it... because if that data gets "public", i'm *responsible* for this).

I *DO* encrypt all this stuff.

I *DO* ecnrypt the files where i store my passwords.

I have
never once encrypted an E-mail message (apart from testing purposes, file
encryption likewise) although I sign all my outgoing messages.

For me, it's a matter of *privacy*. Sometimes i mail my (business) partner data related to - example - our bank account. I do nothing illegal, but i encrypt that stuff too.
