[ale] Q: How to keep stored data hidden?

[Chris Woodruff]

Ok I have a task at work that involves keeping a set of database connect
params for multiple databases and database types on a linux system. What
I need to do is keep them encrypted until I call for them.  The system
is developed in python so I cannot develop this in a scripting language.
The system that we implement this on needs to be rock solid and even if
compromised the encrypted data needs to be safe (as much as possible). 
Has anyone seen anything around that will do this?  I have a system
designed but I would like to find something so I can save some time on
the project plan.

Using a database to stored the data is not an option.

Thanks

Chris Woodruff
