The end goal of this is to ship to the Mac App Store (I’m prepared to deal with export compliance), so something that would break sandboxing is a no-go.

What is the recommended best practice for this situation, and what have you guys done when you needed to do things like this?
I successfully used RNCryptor for an easy (and relatively safe) path to encryption of small files in obj-c: https://github.com/RNCryptor/RNCryptor the framework seems to be very popular, that’s probably a good sign. :)
