Comment on Microsoft's Bitlocker & TPM encryption combo defeated with a $10 Raspberry Pi
n2burns@lemmy.ca 11 months agoIsn’t the whole point of BitLocker protection from direct access? When a computer is turned off, encryption should keep the data safe. Also when a computer is turned off, basically no remote vector is going to work. AFAIK, when the computer is on, the drive is mounted and BitLocker provides no additional protection over an unencrypted drive.

Veracrypt drive encryption does not have the same problem, it would be secure even with physical access

Yeah, it’s safe because of no TPM usage. You can boot from an encrypted drive, it’ll prompt for the key instead of auto loading from vulnerable hardware
