> * Could we please change the default algorithm for protecting sensitive property values to something stronger than the current selection? I would open a Jira if necessary, but this is one of those things that is really better to do before the first release so users have a backward-compatible config.yml file moving forward. If we change it in a subsequent release, we will need to do significant migration hand-holding. My suggestion would be "PBEWITHSHA256AND256BITAES-CBC-BC” which is significantly stronger, but after trying a few BC options, I continue to get EncryptionExceptions even though I have the JCE unlimited cryptographic strength jurisdiction policy files installed, so this may be a 0.0.2 fix. Is BouncyCastle not enabled by default?
