 Replying to [comment:6 David 279]:
 > 1. The Decryption Key should not be stored in the same location as the
 Encrypted Data, there's no point in installing a great big safe to protect
 your valuables then sticking a post it note to the side of the safe with
 the combination, however many people will be hosting their WordPress sites
 on a Shared Server so just how one sets this up I'm not sure

 Hard to see how WordPress core can do this out of the box. Perhaps
 something like Jetpack/Akismet could fill this gap as a 3rd party service
 securely hosting the Decryption Key, but that seems contradictory to the
 open source, "own your data" nature of WordPress as it exists today.
