If forensic examiners find tons of encrypted data they will stop using the encounter of encrypted data as presumption of guilt. People have nothing to hide but their rights.

- Mootabolife, on 10/12/2007, -8/+18Microsoft probably has a backdoor built into its system to let the FBI in.
- clesch, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13or just use Truecrypt for perfect plausible deniability instead...
- antdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Oops. I forgot the part 2: http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1890
- TeatimeGrommit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6That's a very good question! Not turning over evidence can get you into a contempt of court situation, but if the password isn't written down, then perhaps the 5th amendment protects you from having to _say_ it.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The correct answer is "I forgot" Politicians due this all the time.
- SniperGX1, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Or use both because it can't be proven that there is no backdoor or other vulnerability to TPM
- Solkre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Could you claim the 5th to not give your TruCrypt password? Course you have that handy hidden volume option too.
I use it to protect the sensitive data on my USB Drive in case it's lost. - EntangledPhysx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2create a hidden volume, then the normal volume is your plausible deniability.
- grumpyrain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2EFS is a good thing. Too many business systems are disposed of without due care in making sure the hard drive is completely wiped. Many people honestly believe that format c: is enough. At least with an encrypted disk, it is effectively deleted once it is removed.
- EntangledPhysx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3That went right over my head!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5Most likely they do have a backdoor, it's just not intentional. Their code most likely has security holes that would allow the NSA in. The only way to know if this is true or not is to audit their code and M$ isn't about to let you do that.
- Invictus34, on 06/30/2008, -0/+0I'm in the computer forensics field, and hidden volumes are captured using pretty much any of the forensics analysis software suites out there.
- solemnraven, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2RDP ftw noob.
- endgame, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Interesting article, I work with forensic techs. I'm studying the field myself.
- HairyPoter, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2forensics will have a life time job trying to figure out the blue screen of death....
- hapbt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Actually there was an article, I think it was on Digg.com awhile ago, about MS working with the NSA as 'consultants' on Vista security, if you think that this was voluntary and that no concessions were made to the NSA, well, you're alot more of an optomist than I am.
- willgonz, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4Off Topic, but Microsoft still hasn't gotten the Exchange Admin addins for the Active Directory Users and Computers console. Very frustrating.
- TexanPsycho, on 10/12/2007, -9/+5Word of advice: don't upgrade. ;)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4agreed!
- OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2[quote]Most likely they do have a backdoor, it's just not intentional. [/quote]
Intentional or not, I'm not "upgrading" to Vista until all the facts are known. It's still a mess as bad as pre-SP1 XP was, perhaps even worse. - jlebrech, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4I was expecting voice activated CSI stylee image enhancement.
"Zoom in"
"No! Zoom in"
"I said zoom in"
"No $%&* Zoom in"
"Right how do I turn that off, now what the keyboard command for zooming in" - okaroleo, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3I Prefer VE: Miami it's full of hot code.
- jsowder18, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2I'm waiting for Vista Forensic: SVU Edition before I upgrade ....
