What a neat package this is and I love that the code is implemented as a MVC model.  Anyway I would like to create a form that collects ones social security number and date of birth.  Even though I can do this over a secure connection, it would also be great is I could encrypt these values before they are stored in the database and unencrypt them when the are retrieved.  Are there any hooks that would let me accomplish this or plans to add encryption?

 

Thanks

I could give you the hooks to use to encrypt values, but the problem is the unencrypting bit. As far as I know, most encryptions only go one way. For example, WordPress passwords are encrypted and cannot be retrived. However, when a password is inputted, it is encryted to see if it matches the encrypted value in the database. Did you have something specific in mind for the encryption so it could be reversed?
