Description
Enable e.g. dcc.Store to encrypt/decrypt its data-* props on the server, and possibly expand to other components.
#254 was a first cut at implementing this in dash.py and some design discussion is available there. It seems like the way forward here is to make the base component class extensible with server-side transform/inverse_transform extension points.
@chriddyp is there an existing issue that captures other needs/thoughts around the base component extension idea?

Research direction
Start by reading the first-cut implementation in dash.py and the design discussion in issue #254, then inspect the base component and dcc.Store data-* props mentioned here. The work is complete when the server-side transform/inverse_transform approach is defined and automatic encryption and decryption for dcc.Store are implemented, with any expansion to other components scoped.
