So I use bitlocker on my laptop.
It works fine, but it doesn't have a tpm module, so I just leave a mini usb in one of the usb ports.
It works fine, but I am confused about the security.
So, I understand that if someone installs windows on another drive on the laptop(say usb), and then they try to acess the drive, even with the usb key inserted, it won't work since windows will prompt for the windows password, (or will it ask for the bitlocker recovery key?)
I am more concerned that you can acccess it in Linux.
There is an experimental fuse driver, so you could load up in Linux, will it be able to read the usb key normally and then be able to proceed to read the contents of the drive? (Regardless of the Windows password)
I just want some clarification on exactly how bitlocker works with a usb key inserted all the time.
Thx
