Microsoft explains how it's tackling security and privacy for Recall

Microsoft offered up more details about Recall's security and privacy measures.

The company says Recall's snapshots and related data will be protected by VBS Enclaves, which it describes as a "software-based trusted execution environment (TEE) inside a host application." Microsoft also reiterated that encryption will be a major part of the entire Recall experience, and it will be using Windows Hello to interact with every aspect of the feature, including changing settings. "Recall also protects against malware through rate-limiting and anti-hammering measures," David Weston, Microsoft's VP of OS and enterprise security, wrote in a blog post today.
