Language and word selection

While hidden from the user, the class tools.LanguageParser already supports the possibility of selecting only certain languages or types of words (given that the proper language file is present in the resources)

Key Security

At the moment, both the salt of the hash function and the symmetric-encryption key are stored as plain text in settings.py. This is reasonably secure as long as the source codes are kept private and the server's access properly managed. To increase security it is possible to take further measures, such as storing the key on the server (i.e. on a file) so that it does not travel with the sources. Even further security could be achieved having one centralized server, with very restricted access, which provides encryption and decryption as a service, only to allowed clients which can access it securely (not applicable to hashing if the primary key, except at a very high performance cost). If possible, changing the keys often and adding salts even to the words, helps against statistical attacks.
