Hey everyone,
I'm doing research about the difference between Bitlocker Drive Encryption and McAfee Endpoint Encryption. I've been using wikipedia wiki Comparison_of_disk_encryption_software (sorry can't post a link apparently) as a starting place, but I need solid sources instead of believing everyhting on Wikipedia.
I found most by myself, but 2 things are not clear for me:
1. Multiple keys: Whether an encrypted volume can have more than one active key. I can't find if that's the case or not, the reference on Wikipedia doesn't seem to work anymore. This doesn't mean multiple factor authentication (i.e. TPM + PIN), but can there be 2 PIN's that can decrypt 1 volume.
2. Modes of operation: On Wikipedia there is a reference to a document that dates back to 2006, is this still the case today or did something changed in Bitlocker? If so, that answers 2 of the modes, but can someone shine some light for the last three: CBC with random per sector keys, LRW and XTS.
Help will be very appreciated.
Kind regards,
- Jimmy
