Unfortunately, I think that still isn't secure because the FD doesn't enforce
encryption and signing is only checked after restoring the file (too late).
Also, it doesn't have a way to check that the file is restored to its original
location.  Finally, I think file attributes are not encrypted or signed so a
malicious restore could change the permissions on a file even if it couldn't
read the data.
