This tutorial will teach you how to recover data from a BitLocker encrypted drive in Windows 8, mainly including the following aspects:

Why do you need BitLocker data recovery software?

BitLocker is a disk encryption algorithm that Microsoft introduced into Windows from Windows Vista. In Windows 8, BitLocker uses the same AES-CBC 128/256-bit encryption algorithm as in Windows 7/Vista. The AES-CBC 128/256-bit encryption algorithm has extremely high security, which is useful for protecting data, but it also poses great difficulty in recovering data from BitLocker encrypted drives. If all or part of the data in a BitLocker encrypted drive is abnormally lost one day, how do we recover the data? Usually we will try data recovery software, but after you try, you will find that normal data recovery software cannot recover data from a BitLocker encrypted drive.
