My understanding is that some enterprises do decrypt traffic in flight with
proxies such as bluecoat, though I'm not sure on the particulars of how

PCs within the enterprise contain an enterprise-local root in their
certificate store. The proxy re-encrypts using a key whose ephemeral
cert chains up to the enterprise root.
