If SelfGuard was instantiated with a key pair, it will automatically encrypt files such that only the owner of the key pair will be able to access the file.
If SelfGuard was instantiated with metamask, it will automatically encrypt files such that only the owner of the metamask account will be able to access the file. Furthermore, it will use Lit Protocol to store the encryption keys, ensuring the encryption keys can only be retrieved by the owner of the respective metamask account.
