[iPhone] Data protection clarification needed.

Greetings.

I've been looking for information on how the data protection works on the iPhone
and I've watched the WWDC video session 209. but I might have misunderstood.

what I understand is that the data is protected as long as the phone is locked.
otherwise, it is accessible. with options of syncing that protected data to other devices.

What we want is for out application Data to still be locked when the phone is unlocked
and only unlocked by the user when the user logs locally in to the application.

the data should not sync or be backed up onto any other device.
it is after all strategic data, so we need to be really careful about it.

is it at all possible to enable data encryption of our Core Data store independently
of the user's unlock of the device and only make the data accessible when the application
has authenticated the user, while still benefiting from the current (do not sync data) features
of the current API implementation?

I hope I'm being clear enough, my understanding is still a little blurry.

Best regards.
Sandro Noel._______________________________________________
