	EncryptFile	Creates an encrypted file from source file data.
	ExportKeyIV	Exports a key and initialization vector from the local system key cache.
	FlushCache	Blocks current thread and waits for any pending save of local system key cache to complete.
	GetPasswordHash	Gets the Base64 encoded SHA-256 hash of given user password.
	ImportKeyIV	Imports a key and initialization vector into the local system key cache.
