Re:Adding Easy SSL Client Authentication To Any Webapp by MichaelGG on Sunday December 01, 2013 @03:05AM (#6826577)
Windows provides Data Protection APIs, which allow any program to encrypt data using a key that's derived from the user's password. Reset the password, lose that data. (It also has options for in-memory data, based on a user's session or process scope.)

It doesn't protect you from arbitrary code running in your security context that has access to your encrypted data. Without app-level verification (like kernel verifies current binary is signed and hasn't been tampered with), I'm not sure that's even possible.
