@john66571 good call out. Note though that a few more steps are taken before base64 is returned. Check the content from this source Release 1.0.8 · Azure/ArcEnabledServersGroupPolicy · GitHub , specifically AzureArcDeployment.psm1, and follow the breadcrumbs of the protect() call that is being made....

@john66571 you are correct: base64 is not an "encryption". But here we are talking about "ProtectBase64" which is utilizing DPAPI for the protection/encryption of the "payload".
