What remains (known) include, for example, the 'Cold Boot Attack' - the newest version of which really isn't Bitlocker specific (you need physical access to a running computer and steal the encryption keys, and anything else, straight from the memory). There have been several ways to breach Bitlocker in it's history, luckily most of them have already been patched / mitigated in 2018. Maybe it is of use to someone doing a search in 2018 and later. You might consider Cryptomator 2 - this being available for both Mac and iOS/iPadOS:Ĭryptomator does not use full disk encryption, but instead employs encrypted containers - these being created and accessed using an appropriate client App that integrates with the native file viewer.Old question, but since then several new developments have been found concerning Bitlocker and drive encryption (used either alone or in combination), so I will turn couple of my comments on the page to an answer.

If you are looking to accessibly encrypt your SSD data, you’ll need to find an encryption software solution that is available for all devices with which you intend to use your SSD. More information about connection to external devices and storage can be found in the iPad User Guide - along with other frequently overlooked information about your iPad and iPadOS:Ĭonnect external storage devices to iPad - Apple Support Note that FAT filesystems are typically universal - while APFS and HFS+ are generally only usable with Apple devices. iOS/iPadOS does not natively support encrypted volumes.īe aware that iPad does not provide any facilities to format an external storage device formatting, of required must be performed by a suitable computer. Microsoft NTFS and other proprietary device formatting are not supported. To be recognised by iPadOS, the attached USB storage device must be formatted to FAT, FAT32, exFAT, APFS or HFS+ with a single partition. An equivalent App is not available for iOS/iPadOS. Your iPad will not be able to access an SSD after being encrypting with Sandisk-proprietary security software.
