Answer 1

Microsoft's BitLocker is a system that uses AES encryption with a 128-bit key in conjunction with a TPM to protect data on partitions or entire hard drives.

Step-by-step explanation:

Microsoft provides a system known as BitLocker that is used for encrypting partitions or entire hard drives. It leverages a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to secure the keys and by default, BitLocker uses the AES encryption algorithm with a 128-bit key. This feature is built into some versions of Windows and helps protect user data, providing that the system is lost or stolen, the data will remain inaccessible without the proper authentication measures.
