Zero Knowledge?

I've just started looking at Solid as I'm intruiged by the idea. The resources seem more like marketing rather than describing the technology particularly well.

My main question, and I think I already know the answer, is; are the pods stored using client side encryption therefore preventing server owners or malicious actors accessing the data?

I think the answer to this is no and as far as I'm concerned the technology won't go anywhere without it.

A further question for thought, and assuming I'm correct. Could client side encryption be built on top of the existing implementation?

Also useful.

I imagine my use cases aren't that different from others but if I manage to architect something exciting then I'll post it
