"How to: Use Data Protection" code sample does not compile

[Bilboramix]

Type of issue

Code doesn't work

Description

Hello there, i'm trying to run the code sample of the page but I got this kind of errors that prevent me to compile it :

The name 'MemoryProtectionScope' does not exist in the current context

The name 'ProtectedMemory' does not exist in the current context

I also had those :

The name 'DataProtectionScope' does not exist in the current context

The name 'ProtectedData' does not exist in the current context

But it has been solved by installing this package :
https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Security.Cryptography.ProtectedData/
(If it is required to run the code it should be in the documentation as a first step, that's not the case here)

Well i cannot find out about the two first ones...
