一直听人说将要发布的Vista中已经包含了较为完善的数据安全功能,也有几位朋友提醒过,在微软这个巨人将要介入的市场,千万要小心行事。以前装过一次Vista,测试了几天就卸载了,没太注意数据安全的功能,今天特地上微软的网上搜索一番。

Microsoft? Windows Vista? Security Advancements
其中提到了在数据安全方面微软采取的措施主要有四项:
BitLocker Drive Encryption
Integrated Rights Management Services Client
Encrypting File System Enhancements
USB Device Control
比较有影响是的第二项,微软在将RMS的客户端内置到Vista中,在一个已经预先全部部署过Vista系统的环境中,RMS的实施成本将大大降低……
Many organizations are already using Microsoft’s Right
Management Services (RMS) technology, which helps protect the security
and integrity of sensitive information by making documents accessible
only to authorized users, and by enforcing specific policies around
forwarding, printing and sharing by those users.
Previous versions of Windows required the installation of additional
components to enable this functionality. Windows Vista includes an
integrated RMS client that helps further safeguard digital information.
For businesses, this saves on deployment costs and ensures consistent
application of usage policies. For end users, this means being able to
work with RMS-protected documents without having to install or
configure any additional software.
