Verisign. A registry setting change is needed on the client computer to enable certificate validation.
● Users should update their policies by right-clicking the Dell Encryption icon in the notification area and selecting Check for
Policy Updates after installation completes.
● The Encryption installer can be located at:

from the Master Installer. After extraction, locate the file at C:\extracted\Encryption.
