Is SecureData encryption just using a UDx to obfuscate values?

The presentation mentioned "Analyze Without Unencrypting with Voltage SecureData", but it seems like perhaps that is a misnomer. It's just that the decryption is obfuscated through the UDX?

SecureData isn't "obfuscation", it's proper key-based encryption that is as strong as AES. There is some analysis that is possible without the user having a way to get decrypted values.
