    One of our customers who is big into security had a pretty good idea. Their
    concern was that if the sensitive data could be decrypted it was vulnerable
    and considered a security risk. They proposed using a one way encryption
    algorithm and then only comparing the hash values of the sensitive data -
    not the actual data itself. I am not certain which algorithm they were
    talking about.
