Understanding BitLocker and Encryption
I just want to understand some basic points about encryption in Windows 7. If I setup BitLocker or VeraCrypt in Windows 7 and someone removes my hard drive they 'technically' cannot view my drive without an unlock key or password.
However if I encrypt the whole drive and it is decrypted on boot with an unlock code or password, which I guess is standard procedure, that means its security at this stage is exactly the same as a standard decrypted HDD and a hacker can view all my data if they break through the internet security suite?
