recovery key - permalink - collapse

All > Technology > Operating System > Microsoft Windows > Microsoft Windows Server

A key that is used for recovering data that is encrypted on a BitLocker volume. This key is cryptographically equivalent to a startup key. If available, the recovery key decrypts the volume master key, which in turn decrypts the full volume encryption key. The recovery key is stored on a USB flash drive. To use the recovery key, a user inserts the USB flash drive and then restarts the computer.

recovery mode - permalink - collapse

All > Technology > Operating System > Microsoft Windows > Microsoft Windows Server

A mode in which BitLocker Drive Encryption prevents access to the encrypted drive, either because the system components have changed or because it needs an authentication key. In this circumstance, the user investigates why BitLocker triggered recovery mode and can either repair the system or enter the recovery password to exit recovery mode.

recovery password - permalink - collapse

All > Technology > Operating System > Microsoft Windows > Microsoft Windows Server

For BitLocker Drive Encryption, a numerical password that consists of 48 digits divided into 8 groups. Each group of 6 digits is reduced to modulo 11 (a numerical calculation) before being compressed into corresponding 16 bits of passphrase data. A copy of the passphrase data is stored on disk encrypted by the volume master key and thus an administrator can retrieve the recovery password after Windows has loaded. The recovery password must be entered by using the function keys on the keyboard.

All > Technology > Operating System > Microsoft Windows > Microsoft Windows Server
