Re: Crypto-busting test case
If an encrypted computer (I'm going to assume that means "encrypted data on the hard drive" in this case) is a "problem with a solution", what is the point of encrypting any computer...?
Encrypted data on a hard drive should be recoverable. The data will be encrypted by a random key generated for that drive and stored in the controller. The user's password will then be used to encrypt that key, but the drive manufacturer should be able to recover the key (or, if it's a Samsung SSD, anyone can)
