FWIW, I don't think the list of devices to be accessed encrypted is likely
to grow significantly.  Is one or two more possible?  Perhaps.  Does it
become a list of ten?  I doubt it.

One approach is to go with the individual device attributes for now.
If the list does grow significantly, there will probably be patterns
or groupings that we can't discern now.  We could restructure into
larger buckets at that point based on those patterns/groupings.
