Using Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption

To help protect your computer from being subject to unauthorized access, be sure to use drive encryption software, such as Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption.

Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption is an integral security feature of Windows 7 and Windows Vista. It is supported in Ultimate and Enterprise editions of Windows 7 and Windows Vista. It can help you protect the operating system and data stored in your computer data, even if your computer is lost or stolen. BitLocker works by encrypting all user and system files, including the swap and hibernation files.

BitLocker uses a Trusted Platform Module to provide enhanced protection for your data and to ensure early boot component integrity. A compatible TPM is defined as a V1.2 TPM.

To check the BitLocker status, do the following:

•For Windows 7: Click Start ➙ Control Panel ➙ System and Security ➙ BitLocker Drive Encryption.

•For Windows Vista: Click Start ➙ Control Panel ➙ Security ➙ BitLocker Drive Encryption.
