Microsoft helps to break its own encryption
Microsoft has developed a set of tools that law enforcement agents can use to get around criminals' growing use of encryption software, like Microsoft's own BitLocker.
The company first released the toolset, called the Computer Online Forensic Evidence Extractor (COFEE), to law enforcement last June and it's now being used by about 2,000 agents around the world, said Anthony Fung, senior regional manager for Asia Pacific in Microsoft's Internet Safety and Anti-Counterfeiting group. Microsoft gives the software to agents for free. While Microsoft can point to wide usage of COFEE, some experts are sceptical about using that type of tool to recover data, and even the developer of the product at Microsoft acknowledges that it's not accepted by some users. http://www.techworld.com/security/ne...S&NewsID=12128
