A property can be set to three different modes. If it is set
to the local one (PolicyLocal), it is not transmitted over the network
(but still saved). This is probably what you want.

It is also of course possible to have "normal c/c++" variables
in your player code. You only have to add them to the load
save streams (which is easily possible) of the player to
get them to a save file if you want it. Using normal variables
you can implement any level of security you want.

If you think the lib lacks features it certainly is possible that
you incorporate code into it. It cannot be assumed that it is
perfect right now.
