The use case I have in mind is when an employee installs the
workstation client and sets up his encrypted location, he is prompted
with the option of seamlessly transmitting his key to a key escrow
server maintained by the organization. If the user elects to use that
service, then his data can be recovered by the company's IT department
when he later forgets his passphrase.

This report addresses risks relating to government legislation
mandating key escrow. I do not endorse such legislation.
