Bug Description

Currently keystone's usage of memcached if configured with a minimal working configuration. This is fine for regular deployments, however, it doesn't use the best security practices we could be using.

Keystone has the in-built ability to encrypt what it stores in the cache as specified in the documentation [1].

At a minimum we should be authenticating the data we get from the cache. Ideally we should be encrypting it.

We don't configure keystone to use memcached. So this is not a bug.
