Windows Vista Bitlocker: Boon or Bust?
Overview A controversial new Vista feature called Bitlocker sounds simple enough. Combined with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip on a PC's motherboard, Bitlocker encrypts an entire hard drive. Microsoft says this feature will help companies, especially those with executives traveling around with key corporate data on their laptops, keep private company information private. But there are fears that Bitlocker will be used by lawbreakers to secure their data as well. And because Microsoft has pledged that there will never be any backdoors created for Bitlocker, information stored on those encrypted hard disks will always be safe from prying eyes, good or bad.
