I need to obtain a symmetric encryption key specific to a user. The key
needs to remain identical within the domain, whatever workstation the
user is logging-in from and whatever authentication method (password,
smart card) he uses.
I think a PKCS#5 derivation of the user's SID would provide sufficient
security strength but since the SID is a public data, I'm not sure...
Any better idea ??
