Re: End User Data Encryption

[Mark Bruhn <mbruhn () INDIANA EDU>]

The only "organized" support of user encryption here at IU is with EFS.
And, if a user encrypts a document in EFS and loses the key, they have
to contact my office (the IT Policy Office), and we dynamically create a
master to retrieve the doc.  To my knowledge, we've never exercised the
procedure -- either because no one is using EFS or because no one has
forgotten the key.
