If it were me... I would use TurboPower Lockbox, but you should know... I
know NOTHING about how encryption works or how to tell if one component is
better than another encryption wise.

The turbo power set of components was a commercial product written by
TurboPower and made open source when the co decided to move in a different
direction. The license is Mozilla so it's very unconstrained.
