Append client-generated password used to encrypt the note and traffic as fragment #something.

I can provide you some sample code, once my question on StackExchange is answered.

It would also be possible to use a human-readable password which the users has to enter in a textbox such that it is not shown on screenshots. Key derivation should be used in this case.

Cryptography
- Use AES-GCM-256 for encryption
- Use PBKDF2 with SHA-256 and 100000 iterations for key derivation

Behavior
- A human-readable password will be automatically be generated when not set
- The password will be appended to the URI as fragment #password
- The IV (12 bytes) is prepended to the ciphertext
- Everything is base64 encoded (33% overhead)
- Update is disabled when encryption fails to avoid overwriting
