where you don’t want users to be able to determine the value of the payload.
This can be used in situations similar to the MessageVerifier, but
to you.
The cipher text and initialization vector are base64 encoded and returned
somewhere you don’t trust.
MessageEncryptor is a simple way to encrypt values which get stored
