WHY use TPM with bitlocker?
i still have to understand WHY to use TPM with bitlocker. these are my concerns, i tried to use bitlocker with my tpm but the encryption was "free" without to enter any password at boot. Ok this kind of encryption is useful ONLY IF a thief steal ONLY the hd .... but what if he steal the entire machine? a laptop is easy to steal at 100% (not only the hd).
IMHO i don't understand why a person should use TPM to automaticallu enter the encryption key to unlock a drive, with virtually " no action required" by the end user.
i had to follow a guide to set bitlocker to nos ask for tpm and works as if NO TPM is availale. only in that way i can REALLY encrypt the drive ( takes a lot of time) and the pc REALLY ASKS me to enter a password.
can someone explain my doubts? to me tpm module for bitlocker is 0% useful, like to have NO ENCRYPTION at all, because effectively the end user who sits in front of your pc, automatically decrypt the drive because tpm gives the key..... so it is nonsense for me.
