Hi,
The security provider is a new feature and this is why it's not explained anywhere yet. This allow you to change the security model of the database. You can use the default which only encrypt the xml if it's flagged in the session advanced settings (password are always encrypted or double encrypted) or the basic provider which always encrypt the xml with our own private key and salt.

The last one is new, it's allow you to specified your own encryption passphrase that you will have to give to all you users. If you loose this passphrase, we won't be able to restore your data. I suggest that you do an export of your session before you applied it.
