Im currently developing software to try to aid lawenforcement\ Data recovery. I am intrested in finding out if Vista's Bitlocker encrypts the drive before it boots like pgp or if its an active encryption that locks imformation as its bieng accessed?

Basically Does anyone know if Bitlocker Encrypts the drive and decrypts the information as the user is using the OS. or if the drive is just encrypted and decrypted at drive start and shutdown?

Tools that i am currently working on and are developing can be found at

The data is decrypted as it is accessed.
