Description
Any stored credentials (such as API keys) will need to be encrypted.

A post-flight install script in the component should generate a crypto key, so will need to ensure the best algorithm (for speed and ease of processing) is utilised.

Going with OpenSSL using a 256 bit key. Have created the postflight function to generate a key on install

Bulk Update

The underlying project - Vehman - is essentially EOL, so no further work's going to be done on this component either (particularly as it's more than 1 major release behind the current Joomla version).
