Been working on a new ORM project that is using cayenne-crypto and got a chance to address the shortcomings of the initial implementation. The main one being the inability to map data types other than byte[] to (VAR)BINARY columns. Per CAY-2103 [1] it is now possible to map encrypted columns to numbers, Strings, etc. I'd like to thank Andrei Tomashpolskiy [2] for his pull requests for this task.
A few more enhancements are forthcoming. Namely an optional HMAC that ensures data integrity [3]. Will also take a closer look at performance. Also planning to eventually open-source a Bootique module that helps to setup Cayenne-crypto in a Bootique app (probably after Cayenne 4.0.M4 becomes official). In the meantime I wanted to ask the community about your experiences with cayenne-crypto. Perhaps there are other pain points that we need to address?
