Add encryption?

Looks like there is a package doing this:

https://github.com/ropensci/cyphr

From a cursory glance, it looks like these could be readily included in a future version of storr once they're mature.

I just saw that @richfitz is working on https://github.com/ropensci/cyphr. You're probably already thinking about this 😛

I should take a look! :grinning:

This is something I thought about a bit last year but never progressed. There are some issues here (for example, do key names also need encryption, and where do you store the keys in a way that works across drivers). My hope was that I could write a meta-driver that would wrap up all existing drivers - this is a bit trickier than a special case but seems doable.

I was planning on using cyphr to abstract away much of the detail, yeah. I should get that on CRAN soon but there's some docs work needed first
