> Attributes in the configuration which contain confidential information such 
> as passwords are annotated as "secure" in their definition.  This is used to 
> prevent their disclosure through querying operations.  
> However it may be the case that this information needs to be encrypted even 
> within the configuration store.  In this case the key material needed to 
> decrypt the confidential information must be held outside the configuration 
> mechanism (otherwise we are just shifting the problem around).
> Deployment environments may have site specific mechanisms my which encryption 
> may occur, so the encryption mechanism must be pluggable and configurable at 
> the broker (and potentially at the virtual host node) level.
