I just know that we don't purposely have anything on our network configured
to specifically use encryption. I don't know of any software that we have
that encrypts files. The fact that it's only associated with a couple of our
users makes me believe they are visiting some site or something that needs an
EFS certificate. Could this be the case? If so is there a way to find out
what is requesting the certificate? Is this something that is typically
disabled? Is there any harm with them having this certificate?
