If you just want to encrypt, go for the md5 module. It can provide a
very safe form of authentication.

If you want to be able to decrypt what you encrypt, you may consider the
rotor module. But do realise it's encryption can be (easily) broken, so
don't use it to protect your customer's credit card numbers.
