Specifies which key store to use (User or Machine)
The encrypted bytes to decrypt
The entropy, or "password" to use to decrypt this data. The value must be the same as was used to originally encrypt the data
Decrypts a byte array of data, using the specified entropy, into a new byte array of unencrypted data
