Encode a string using a secure specification.

@param mixed $data The data to encode. This must be data that supports json serialization.
@param array $spec An array specifying how the string should be encoded.
The array should be in the form ['spec1' => 'password', 'spec2' => 'password'].
@param bool $throw Whether or not to throw an exception on error.
@return string|null Returns the encoded string or null if there is an error.
