If the data is critical, code is probably not the place to put it 
(consider the implications of runtime compilation and memory dumps).

Better to use revEncrypt with Blowfish or one of the other strong 
options if you need secure data (and even then see note above about 
memory dumps).

Security is a tricky business....
