I'm somewhat failing to see how this is an appropriate feature for a wiki,
and seems characteristic of feature bloat. If such a functionality is
needed by a specific user or community it would seem that this could be
developed as a Plugin or a PageProvider and installed locally, rather than
as a core feature delivered as part of JSPWiki.

The statement "I suspect this will have potentially drastic effects on
the revisions process, but it would be a small price to pay for security"
has an entirely true first clause, but the "small price to pay for security"
is really overstated as the "security" is for a feature that has never been
a part of JSPWiki in the past, and is not in any way a security requirement
for using the application.

Cheers,

Murray

We would like to store passwords within the wiki pages.
Securing the page is trivial, however the contents on disk remain clear text.
It would be very nice to have a page type that could be stored in an obfuscated 
form on disk.
As an addition  have a secondary password to display/edit the encrypted 
contents on disk for those who do not want to use wiki security on the page.
I suspect this will have potentially drastic effects on the revisions process, 
but it would be a small price to pay for security.
