   > cool stuff, as I understand it only aims to protect the user when they (accidentally or intentionally) expose the `minifi.properties` file
   
   Yes, that is true.  The idea is that
   1. it is enough to protect `bootstrap.conf` and you can leave `minifi.properties` world-readable, so non-entitled users can see the value of most settings except for these sensitive ones; and
   2. if you want to find out the value of these sensitive properties, you should have to do some work; you can't see them by accident.
