1 Introduction
BitLocker® Drive Encryption is a data protection feature. BitLocker is Microsoft's response to one of our
top customer requests: address the very real threats of data theft or exposure from lost, stolen or
inappropriately decommissioned computer hardware with a tightly integrated solution in the Windows
Operating System.

herein referred to as Windows 10 OEs.
BitLocker prevents an attacker who boots another operating system or runs a software hacking tool
from breaking Windows file and system protections or performing offline viewing of the files stored on
the protected drive. This protection is achieved by encrypting the entire Windows volume. With
BitLocker all user and system files are encrypted including the swap and hibernation files.
BitLocker ideally uses a Trusted Platform Module (TPM 1.2 or 2.0) to protect user data and to ensure
that a computer running Windows 10 OEs has not been tampered with while the system was offline.
