Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption Step-by-Step Guide
What is BitLocker Drive Encryption? BitLocker Drive Encryption is an integral new security feature in the Windows Vista operating system that provides considerable protection for the operating system on your computer and data stored on the operating system volume. BitLocker ensures that data stored on a computer running Windows Vista remains encrypted even if the computer is tampered with when the operating system is not running. This helps protect against "offline attacks," attacks made by disabling or circumventing the installed operating system, or made by physically removing the hard drive to attack the data separately. BitLocker uses a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to provide enhanced protection for your data and to assure early boot component integrity. BitLocker is designed to offer a seamless user experience. The TPM interacts with BitLocker to help provide seamless protection at system startup. Who should use BitLocker Drive Encryption? In this guide Before you start
