Encrypt the hard disk with BitLocker

 1 From the [Start] menu, type “BitLocker”, and from the results that appears, choose [Manage BitLocker].



 2 Choose the disk that you want to enable BitLocker and click on [Turn on BitLocker] on its right.


 3 On the screen [Choose how you want to unlock this drive], check [Use my smart card to unlock the drive] and click on [Next].

Options differ depending if you encrypt a partition from your internal hard disk or an external disk. For now, UniToken cannot be used to encrypt the system partition.



 4 On the screen [How do you want to store your recovery key?] Choose where you want to save the file containing the recovery key. You can also choose to print it.

Make sure to keep the recovery key in a safe place, if you lose your SmartCard, it is the only way to decrypt the data on the encrypted drive. Otherwise, all the data will be lost.



 5 On the screen [Are you ready to encrypt this drive].


 6 Wait while the disk is encrypted, it can take a rather long time depending on your computer and the disk size. (On the tested configuration, encrypting a 8GB partition took around 30 minutes).


 7 When the dialog [Encryption of (disk letter) is complete] appears, the disk is protected, click on [Close] to finish. The encrypted disk will remain accessible until you remove it from your computer or reboot your computer.


Access to the encrypted disk

 1 When you insert the encrypted disk in your computer, the following dialog box will appear (you can also choose to unlock automatically the disk when it is inserted).

Insert your UniToken and click on [Unlock]



 2 You will be asked to type the User PIN for your UniToken to unlock the drive. The drive will be unlocked only if the correct password is entered.
