The short answer is that management wants two-way encryption.
I suppose a longer answer is that we probably need to decrypt

probably because I'm new to this project so I'm unfamiliar with
most of what it does.).

a usefull library of tools for this sort of this thing. If I do come up
with something short and sweet. I'll post.
