Vista disk encryption: very damn fast
Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006
Physical theft of hard drives is a rising problem, both in servers sitting in less-fortified branch 
offices and in the growing number of corporate laptops that may be lost or stolen.
Microsoft’s answer is full-disk encryption in Vista and Longhorn Server, dubbed “BitLocker”. The software giant believes IT managers will be prepared to pay good money for this protection.
It’s certainly a substantial improvement over the Encrypting File System in Windows Server 2000 and 2003, which only encrypts data files and not the whole drive. BitLocker’s full disk encryption makes it impossible to access any data on a drive even if it is taken out and installed in another PC. APC Magazine » Vista disk encryption: very damn fast
