Problem:

  • encrypted data is vulnerable to multiple ways of getting unauthorized decrypted, when all parameters are known. When someone gets hold of the userData, this might happen.

Solution:

  • obfuscate the salt
  • keep the salt separate from the userData. Maybe in a separate localdata/eternalCookie/inMemoryParameter.
  • do not show the salt onscreen at any time.

Priority:
low since it won't be a problem until many people use opfes
