Protecting documents with OpenXML SDK 2
I am creating a DOCX file programmatically using OpenXML SDK v2. One of the requirements of the document is its protection to avoid editing.
This is done with a DocumentProtection object, for example:
new DocumentProtection
{
Edit = DocumentProtectionValues.ReadOnly,
Enforcement = BooleanValues.One,
CryptographicProviderType = CryptProviderValues.RsaFull,
CryptographicAlgorithmClass = CryptAlgorithmClassValues.Hash,
CryptographicAlgorithmType = CryptAlgorithmValues.TypeAny,
CryptographicAlgorithmSid = 4,
CryptographicSpinCount = 50000,
Hash = hash,
Salt = salt
}
This works fine when the document is opened in Word 2007, but when opened in Word 2003 with the Compatibility Pack, the protection may be removed without entering a password.
Online it looks "by design", or at least expected.
Does anyone have any clever ideas for password protection tactics when viewing in Word 2003?
