Thanks but since it isn't already a product, I doubt management would want to touch it unless it was also open source. Otherwise future maintainability is essentially nil. Chances are high that whatever is chosen now will be used for at least 5-10 years, which is part of why I was trying to avoid handrolling something. I likely won't be around by the time an issue comes up and I'd rather not consult on something I slapped together 5-10 years ago.

On a side note if you are looking to open source it I might contribute to it in my free time. I've found a few possible products^ since I made this post and they seem to be actively maintained so I hope that I can avoid spending much billable time on this. But the barren landscape makes me feel like there have to be other devs/companies struggling with this problem so I think as an open source project it could gather steam. ^The most promising ones I've seen are pelock and intellilock (not endorsements, haven't evaluated either one yet).

  Got it. I though it was for a personal project. I understand a company might feel uncomfortable. Anyway, I found: https://cryptlex.com https://cryptlex.com yesterday while searching for other options. That looks interesting.
