Data at Rest encryption

[Monte Goulding]

See the iphoneSetFileDataProtection command in the dictionary. If the user doesn't have a password then it offers you nothing. If you want to encrypt data on iOS then either you can use my external mergAES or you can wait for LC 6.6 (I think) where the encrypt command will be available.
