- lazide 8mo agoAgain, that is a lot of trust since it could trivially just… not show it. Which is already the default for most FDE systems for intermediate/system managed keys.
- smileybarry 8mo agoIt could also just pretend to encrypt your drive with a null key and not do anything, either. You need some implicit trust in a system to use it. And at worst, you can probably reverse engineer the (unencrypted) BitLocker metadata that preboot authentication reads.
- lazide 8mo agoNo, that would be trivial to verify with any other operating system. Key ring contents (and what is done with them) are typically much harder to verify as they’re encrypted.
