You could stash it in the Keychain, which can only be accessed with the
user's name and password. I believe the Keyboard file is sufficiently
encrypted to prevent information leakage. And the user can always go to
the Keychain Utility and retrieve the information.

Using RB 5.5.5 or 2006, is there any way to encrypt and decrypt text
strings? I need to save some confidential information in any
application preferences file in a format that permits the information
to be recovered. This rules out use of hashs (MD5, for example). The
only option that I've seen involves a commercial plug-in that is
really overkill for my needs.
