        I understand all that. My point was that security needs are too
individual for us to try to anticipate something that fits everyone.
So in this regard, we've chosen to leave it up to the developer to
provide the correct solution for the problem they are solving. You
can create any encryption class your clients need, and as long as it
exposes encrypt() and decrypt() methods, all it takes is one line to
have your Dabo app use it.
