The Authentication Key is the key used to unlock data on the drive. A hash of the key is stored on drive and requires confirmation to decrypt the DEK.
When a computer with an Encrypted Hard Drive is in a powered off state, the drive locks automatically. As a computer powers on, the device remains in a locked state and is only unlocked after the Authentication Key decrypts the Data Encryption Key. Once the Authentication Key decrypts the Data
Encryption Key, read-write operations can take place on the device.
-When writing data to the drive, it passes through an encryption engine before the write operation completes. Likewise, reading data from the drive requires the encryption engine to decrypt the data before passing that data back to the user. In the event that the DEK needs to be changed or erased, the data on the drive does not need to be re-encrypted. A new Authentication Key needs to be created and it will re-encrypt the DEK. Once completed, the DEK can now be unlocked using the new AK and read-writes to the volume can continue.

### Best practices
-Set Minimum password length to at least a value of 8. If the number of characters is set to 0, no password is required. In most environments, an eight-character password is recommended because it's long enough to provide adequate security and still short enough for users to easily remember. A minimum password length greater than 14 isn't supported at this time. This value will help provide adequate defense against a brute force attack. Adding complexity requirements will help reduce the possibility of a dictionary attack. For more info, see [Password must meet complexity requirements](password-must-meet-complexity-requirements.md).

Adding complexity requirements will help reduce the possibility of a dictionary attack. For more info, see [Password must meet complexity requirements](password-must-meet-complexity-requirements.md).
Permitting short passwords reduces security because short passwords can be easily broken with tools that do dictionary or brute force attacks against the passwords. Requiring very long passwords can result in mistyped passwords that might cause account lockouts and might increase the volume of Help Desk calls.

## Event ID 3099 Options
-The WDAC policy rule-option values can be derived from the "Options" field in the Details section of the Code integrity 3099 event. To parse the values, first convert the hex value to binary. Next, use the bit addresses and their values from the table below to determine the state of each [policy rule-option](/select-types-of-rules-to-create#table-1-windows-defender-application-control-policy---rule-options).

+This view will provide the hex code in binary form, with each bit address shown separately. The bit addresses start at 0 in the bottom right. Each bit address correlates to a specific event policy-rule option. If the bit address holds a value of 1, the setting is in the policy.

+Next, use the bit addresses and their values from the table below to determine the state of each [policy rule-option](/select-types-of-rules-to-create#table-1-windows-defender-application-control-policy---rule-options). For example, if the bit address of 16 holds a value of 1, then the “Enabled:Audit Mode (Default)” is in the policy meaning the policy is in audit mode.
