Ian, thanks for the new API, it looks much better comparison to old one.

May I point to few odd things I've found in new sample:

* MainActivity.onDestroy() does not call super.onDestroy() making app crash.
* Security.verify() always return "true" not taking into account "verifyed" 
value.

Also, may I ask you to comment (maybe here) on the question I've posted 
recently:
