How to avoid explicit signs of BITLOCKER encryption
Please only replies from people who have at least some knowledge of the topic.
Is there any solution to create a Windows 10 Bitlocker encrypted installation and to remove as many indicators as possible that indicate the system is actually Bitlocker encrypted?
This would be useful, for example, in case that someone who wants to access your data and sees there is a Bitlocker encrypted system in your device forces you to divulge the password. The solution isn't meant to counter forensic analysis or create full plausible deniability but at least to achieve some plausible deniability by removing clear and obvious signs of a Bitlocker encrypted system and if possible remove them all.
I was thinking a solution could be by having two installations of Windows 10 on the same device, one installation is clear and the other is Bitlocker encrypted but in this case the clear signs of Bitlocker would be:
- the boot manager displaying two Windows options
- the Bitlocker bootloader asking for password (it would be useful to be able to store it in an external usb key)
- the Windows system reserved partitions which, I'm not sure, could store Bitlocker reserved data
- the clear Windows installations would show the Bitlocker encrypted partition
Do you have any solution or suggestions to achieve this?
