BitLocker Drive Encryption in Windows Vista
Friday, January 19th, 2007
As expected, Windows Vista is loaded with system enhancements and cool new features, especially 
when it comes to security. Encrypting File System (EFS) never really caught on due to its shortcomings. Among other things, EFS is a file encryption method which is useful under certain circumstances, but it’s not an ideal solution when it comes to mobile devices, such as laptops. With the new BitLocker Drive Encryption (BitLocker) feature in Vista, we finally have a drive encryption mechanism that offers data security to laptop users running Microsoft’s operating system.
Although there are numerous third-party drive encryption tools available today and businesses and government agencies around the world have been utilizing them for years, BitLocker is a built-in feature of Windows Vista, and it’s free.
