libbde is a library to access the BitLocker Drive Encryption (BDE) format.

BitLocker Drive Encryption (BDE) is a volume-based encryption method used by

Microsoft Windows, as of Vista, to encrypt data on a storage media volume.

Project information:

* Status: alpha

* Licence: LGPLv3+

Supported BDE formats:

* BitLocker Windows Vista

* BitLocker Windows 7

* BitLocker Windows 8

* BitLocker Windows 10

* BitLocker To Go

Supported encryption methods:

* AES-CBC

* AES-XTS

Supported protection methods:

* clear key

* password

* recovery password

* start-up key

* FKEV and/or TWEAK key data

Unsupported BDE formats:

* Bitlocker Used Disk Space Only encryption

Unsupported protection methods:

* Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

* SID-based protector

Additional features:

* support for partial encrypted volumes

* zeros out the BDE metadata, matches behavior seen on Windows

Work in progress:

* Dokan library support

* Thread-safety in volume API functions
