Thanks, something like that is what I expect.
From that documentation

this part:
What's happening in step 1: The authenticated user sends the document policy and the user’s certificates to the Azure Rights Management service. The service decrypts and evaluates the policy, and builds a list of rights (if any) the user has for the document. To identify the user, the Azure AD ProxyAddresses attribute is used for the user's account and groups to which the user is a member. For performance reasons, group membership is cached. If the user account has no values for the Azure AD ProxyAddresses attribute, the value in the Azure AD UserPrincipalName is used instead.
This talks about a user certificate.
I hope someone from Microsoft can clarify.
