It's never a good idea to store all your keys in code, that is why we have
an iv, and a salt that you can use... neither is program encryption, since i
can dump it in it's executing form out of memory fairly easily; this is why
hard drive encryption without a controller that does crypto off the main
system is fairly pointless...
