A SecureDirectoryStream is a DirectoryStream and just extends it with 
operations that can be done relative to the directory rather than the 
current working directory. The primary motive is to help security 
sensitive applications that would otherwise be exposed to race 
conditions. It's nothing to do with encrypted files.
