It seems that I'm going to need to encrypt a piddling 24-byte "OAuth Consumer Secret" (one per installation, on the installation's hardware). Can anybody point me to some sample code for calling the encryption/decryption APIs? I've now done HMAC-SHA1 signatures, with an API call, but not actual encryption/decryption.
