Summary

This test checks the setting for policy 'Configure use of hardware-based encryption for fixed data drives: Restrict encryption algorithms and cipher suites allowed for hardware-based encryption' on Windows hosts (at least Windows 8.1). The policy setting controls BitLockers use of hardware-based encryption on fixed data drives and specify which encryption algorithms it can use with hardware-based encryption. The option restricts the encryption algorithms that BitLocker can use with hardware encryption.
