BitLocker drive encryption

BitLocker is a volume-level encryption service that protects data on hard drives that have
been booted on a foreign operating system or another computer. When BitLocker is used on
a data volume, the user is prompted for a password before being able to use its data. When it
is used on the system volume, you unlock it using a password or an encrypted key on a USB
drive.
You must add BitLocker as a feature to WSS 2012.

BitLocker Drive Encryption under the heading System and Security.
