Take a look at Scuttlebutt [0] which works on very similar principles of authenticated log replication.

Also note that Lotus Notes [1] has been doing all this replicated encrypted app platform stuff since the early 90s.

I am working on a log-centric bitemporal database at JUXT which I think intersects with this problem space as well, see my recent tweet relating to the article [2].

Yes Scuttlebutt is a big inspiration among others. I believe the primary change/improvement I'm making is that it runs on the device and is also focused on the user's data instead running on a server or doing distributed social networking.

Reading [1] makes it seem to me like I might just be reinventing Lotus Notes.
