I think one of the problems with Bitlocker is that it is only available in Vista Business Edition purchased under MS Software Assurance (SA). Not many shops have the MS SA. It is also available in Ultimate but that is way tooo expensive. Also what about non-MS operating systems? The other problem is that it lacks any centralized management. If you are letting TPM manage your Bitlocker keys you still need a TPM management suite with key backup/restore/transfer/migrate capabilities in case your computer goes bad. The third problem is that it is software based encryption, which uses the main CPU to perform the encryption. saqib http://www.linkedin.com/in/encryption --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
