Many geeks encrypte SMS, contacts, emails on their Android and iOS phones. Can I have same feature on Sailfish OS? If you will lost your phone, bad guys can read your files, change passwords in your accounts (if it save on your losted device), and have fun with your torments.

SailfishOS is Linux and Linux has strong encryption. For example look at this (kernel level encryption on a per-file basis) :

# modinfo ecryptfs
