Various utility methods for access to secure strings. Lets be real about this before you go off, SecureString is NOT secure, it obfuscated. If your in the process you can access it's contents; however, if you looking at a crash dump or swap file then the SecureString provides value... just not much ;) So these methods are actually my attempt to get people to USE a SecureString or similar class (i.e. Password) rather than continuing to use plain text strings. Hopefully with the ease of access within the process we can provide better security without.
