I would prefer not reusing closed lock since it represents encryption in most browsers.

Hmm that's a fair point even if it's in a different context since ideally each symbol would retain its own meaning. I'm not sure what a better icon would be then that would be intuitive unless one was decided upon and widely used.

Its a recent user training issue, so, if it wasn't so soon I would be all happy, but finding a better icon would probably be better.

A book with a lock might work.
