There are no such functions, because they do not make sense. If you have 
sesitive information, do not store them in the cookie, but store them on the 
server and only use the cookies as key to retrieve the stored information.

This is how TYPO3 CMS handles this and the global BE_USER and FE_USER Object 
has functions to store and retrieve information in the sessions. Those 
information will never be forwarded to the client.

Best regards
