Summary
This test checks the setting for policy 'Choose drive encryption method and cipher strength (Windows 10 [Version 1511] and later)' on Windows hosts (at least Windows 10). The setting configures the algorithm and cipher strength used by BitLocker Drive Encryption. This policy setting is applied when you turn on BitLocker. Changing the encryption method has no effect if the drive is already encrypted, or if encryption is in progress.
