BitLocker-like encryption for Ubuntu/Debian

[Garret Robinson]

There are few things I like about the Windows OS, but the experience of using BitLocker and how it makes use of the TPM security chip is awesome. It makes for such a seamless, easy to use, way to implement full-disk encryption, utilizing the password at OS login etc.

Is there any hope that Ubuntu/Debian can implement a similar full-disk encryption feature making use of the TPM security chip? Hardware based encryption has always been the least invasive experience when doing encryption and now that it is easy to get a self-encrypting SSD, it seems it should be default approach.
