    It's been pointed out to me that you don't need a separate version column.
    More than likely you'll be encoding the encrypted value, and you can
    prefix that value with the version.

    For example, ':' is not a valid Base64 character, so the encryption
    string could just be prefixed with the key version if you encode in
    Base64.
