Smart Security API 4.1 is middleware which supports the entire
range of mobile and stationary clients from Fujitsu Technology
Solutions. Independent of the TPM hardware, it is needed
by everyone who uses a PKI Smart Security environment for
identification purposes.
BitLocker Drive Encryption (BDE) is a feature of Microsoft® Vista
Enterprise and Ultimate Editions for encryption of the hard disk
drive. Here, BitLocker uses the TPM for the storage of the recovery
data which are used for decryption of the partition.
It is also possible to use BitLocker without TPM and only to use
the USB dongle for storing the crypto key. This option is mainly of
interest if Vista is installed on a computer on which TPM is not
installed or an older version (before Version 1.2) is installed.
For BitLocker to work, you must have set up at least two partitions
on your hard drive. The first partition contains the boot information.
The second, larger partition is encrypted and contains the operating
system as well as the user data.
Important: The partitions must be set up before Windows Vista
is installed.
