The 'Protected' recording states have no effect by default. They depend on an undocumented and unofficial protocol extension that is implemented by Scalelite only and requires special configuration. BBB itself does not implement protected recordings. Even with Scalelite this feature is not enabled by default, probably because it breaks other front-ends (e.g. Moodle).
The current UI creates a false sense of security and privacy. The 'Protected' states should not be visible to users unless they are known to actually work. There are multiple open issues and PRs related to this confusing UI.
