MSMutableProtectedData class
MSMutableProtectedData and its super-class MSProtectedData provide protected file data objects, object-oriented wrappers for files that are protected using the Microsoft Protected File format. Use MSProtectedData to read (and transparently decrypt) protected files in consumption scenarios and MSMutableProtectedData to write (and transparently encrypt) data to protected files in publishing scenarios.

Remarks
The methods of the MSMutableProtectedData class that write data transparently encrypt the plaintext data.
MSProtectedData and MSMutableProtectedData are used to read and write files that are protected with the Microsoft Protected File format. To read and write data for files that are protected with a custom protected file format, use MSCustomProtectedData and MSMutableCustomProtectedData.
