Custom Encryption Using an Application-Level Add-In

I am trying to develop an add-in for Word 2013 (using Visual Studio 2012) that will allow the user to use their own encryption to encrypt the document.

Resources on the Internet suggest that I need to implement the EncryptionProvider interface in a COM add-in. To develop a COM add-in. This is usually done using the generic add template that was used in Visual Studio 2010 but is no longer available in visual studio 2012; instead, VS 2012 provides project templates for the "Application Level Add-in."

So my question is: is it possible to implement custom encryption by implementing the EncryptionProvider interface in application-level add-ons?

If so, can someone shed some light on how to do this?
