Agree, probably this feature is not so useful BTW it could be interesting.
Actually, in the past I have had some experience with encrypted attribute 
values.

+1 to implement this feature.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to read a possible use case from Denis.

@Francesco, I think that this attribute should be visible on the console if and 
only if
1. is encrypted using a reversible algorithm
2. the owner specify it explicitly
In any case, its propagation should be encrypted.
