Think about encryption #24

Closed hadley closed 3 years ago

Basic with built-in password to avoid storing client_secret in plain text
Password argument to auth or cache to make it harder for a different app to use your tokens

Might be better to use a character substitution cipher — it doesn't require any external package to implement, doesn't provide illusion of security that "encryption" might, and still protects against scraping attacks.

from <- c(letters, LETTERS, 0:9, "_")
to <- sample(from)

from1 <- paste0(from, collapse = "")
to1 <- paste0(to, collapse = "")

x <- chartr(from1, to1, "hello")
x
chartr(to1, from1, x)
