A Security Comparison Overview of BitLocker and Encrypting File System (EFS) in Windows 7 PART 1 - Encrypting File System (EFS)

Windows 7 is the next generation of operating system due from Microsoft and it is still set for a planned release for early 2010 which would be three years after the release of Windows Vista.

This article is an overview of BitLocker and Encrypting File System (EFS) in Windows 7.

[NOTES FROM THE FIELD] – Windows 7 is only in beta release at the time of writing this article and the version that I am using is Windows 7 Ultimate edition, build 6.1.7000.

Because the operating system is in beta release this article should only be considered a preliminary write up and the details are subject to change upon the final release of this new version of Windows.
