 * Hi guys. Looking to pickup some brains for seems to be impossible task. Got a
   project with a lot of users and crazy requirements about security so… AWS RDS
   encryption is not enough – we need to encrypt user’s table and user meta.
 * Now everything is beautiful, wp_signon has wp_authenticate filter so I thought
   I’m in heaven and then I hit the rocks with wp_metadata that has neither hooks
   nor is pluggable:
    [https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-includes/meta.php#L461](https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-includes/meta.php#L461)
 * So I can encrypt data on the way in, on login but not on the way out… Any smart
   move for workaround or is it just the end
