That looks to me as if the approach is "security through obscurity".

In other words, "if the user doesn't know that security involves writing a file, then the user won't be able to get around the security..."

**OPINION (if I'm seeing that correctly)** Please find another way. Security through obscurity isn't security. Corporate security folks would not allow this to be called secure.

If I'm misreading the tea leaves, please ignore this post.
