[sensors] About securing sensors data

vgalindo has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/sensors:

== About securing sensors data ==
During the TPAC sensor session [1], the question of making sure that 
the sensor API allows to transfer some sensor's data which are 
protected from reading. The use case is : a sensor is protecting 
itself from reading its measures (aka, only communicating ciphered 
data), and transfer its data to a server which will have means to read
 the ciphered data. In that case, the web app handling the data may 
have some interest to know that sensor's data van not be interpreted 
without special treatment. 
The API should allow to tag this kind of protected data, to avoid 
wrong data interpretation.
