Information about the package, dislocker, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The dislocker package is designed for, Utility to access BitLocker encrypted volumes.
Package Name:
dislocker
Summary:
Utility to access BitLocker encrypted volumes
Description:
Dislocker has been designed to read BitLocker encrypted partitions ("drives") under a Linux system. The driver has the capability to read/write partitions encrypted using Microsoft Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 (AES-CBC, AES-XTS, 128 or 256 bits, with or without the Elephant diffuser, encrypted partitions); BitLocker-To-Go encrypted partitions (USB/FAT32 partitions). The file name where the BitLocker encrypted partition will be decrypted needs to be given. This may take a long time, depending on the size of the encrypted partition. But afterward, once the partition is decrypted, the access to the NTFS partition will be faster than with FUSE. Another thing to think about is the size of the disk (same size as the volume that is tried to be decrypted). Nevertheless, once the partition is decrypted, the file can be mounted as any NTFS partition and won't have any link to the original BitLocker partition.
