Stellar dev here. Thanks for the encouragement.

We use scrypt to derive a key from your username and password. The key is used to encrypt your secret data with 256bit AES in GCM mode.

You can check out the implementation here: https://github.com/stellar/stellar-client/blob/master/app/sc...

Thanks! Gonna have a look at it now - seems like an interesting authentication scheme :)
