Does anyone use this library to store extremely sensitive information like SSNs or Credit Card Numbers?
Just curious more than anything, but could really be helpful.

I haven't used it to store anything that's super sensitive. If you're going to be storing Credit Card numbers, make sure you know the PCI DSS. You need to comply with the standards in order to be able to store credit card information. It's illegal to store that information without complying.

I am very aware of PCI Compliance, but don't have the intent to store any credit card numbers at this time.
Thanks for the heads up.
