I'm in the same boat - I wish rotor would stay because I commonly need a way to
keep the honest people honest. I'd prefer to use a standard (builtin) module,
but lacking that I've switched to using this AES module:

Since I'm not going to great lengths to hide the key, it works out to be about
the same strength of encryption as rotor. ;-)
