known as encrypted file system (EFS), using certificates that contain the Extended
Key Usage extension with the following two OIDs:
1.3.6.1.4.1.311.10.3.4
1.3.6.1.4.1.311.10.3.4.1
The EFS recovery certificate is used by a recovery agent when a user loses the
private key and the data encrypted with that key needs to be used. CMS supports
the above two OIDs and allows you to issue certificates containing extended key
usage extension with these OIDs.
Normal user certificates should be created with only the EFS OID, not the recovery
OID.
During installation, CMS automatically creates two instances of the extended key
usage extension policy, named
for an OCSP responder certificate, both are enabled by default.
