OS X :: PGP Whole Disk Encryption
Feb 26, 2010
My company is rolling out this for their macs and I'm curious to know what you guys thinks about it. My home mac has a partition for linux and for OSX, plus I'm generally concerned about interacting with the system when the disk is encrypted. Since its my home mac I really want to avoid needing to load this on. They're setting up policy that you must use whole disk encryption if you wish to log in via vpn - at least for windows and macs. Since I also use Linux I think I have a loop hole I'm still curious to hear people's opinion on PGP whole disk encryption.

What is best disk encryption software for Mac? Are there any websites which reviews and lists best softwares like this? I'm interested how unbreakable code is and how safe it is, meaning that bugs etc don't cause any data loss.

This is mainly just one of those 'I always wondered' things. How secure really is the 128-bit encryption offered in Disk Utility? Is it virtually impossible to crack? Somewhat difficult? How long would it take someone who really knew what they were doing? If anybody wants to try, I made a sample encrypted disk image. See if you can get into it. Its 2MB and you can download it here. After downloading, you'll have to take the .txt off the end of the filename so its just challenge.sparseimage.

Why cant I resume the encryption. I connect the power and nothing happens. I retart with power added and I get a "Calculating time remaining" then right back to the title message. I just bought this Macbook Air and already this issue has happened and its drawing quite a bit of battery power. Also Apps using significant energy shows "Reverting from Filevault"...this does not look good on Mac
Info:
MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

OS-X Lion I now have two useless FW800 external disk drives because I cannot turn off encryption and reformat the disk. (30 years ago, in DOS, this was called a "low level format".) I think I need to use Terminal commands diskutil eraseDisk or diskutil partitionDisk but nether of those commands work. Apparently, I cannot format the command correctly or diskutil cannot remove an encrypted partition.
Info:
Mac OS X (10.7.4)

I have my internal hard drive (running 10.5) encrypted with PGP Whole Disk on my internal hard disk. I want to buy a new Mac and I have a full backup. Can I remove my internal drive, put it in an enclosure, connect it to another Mac with PGP installed, and mount it as a standard PGP encrypted whole disk?

I have been trying to backup a few .avi files I have onto DVDs and after reading over the forums I have aquired ffmpegx and Toast 8. I place the avi file into ffmpex, encode it with the dvdffmpeg format. But once i burn it with toast, it takes the original wide screen avi file and stretches it to full screen.
I tried re-encoding with the DVD 16:9 setting selected with ffmpeg and it seems to look better in a preview, but when I try and burn the Video_TS folder in Toast it gives me the CSS Encryption disk error, which I do not understand because I'm not copying a copyrighted dvd.

I need a WEP encryption to connect to my DS and my computer but it doesn't work. I am currently using WPA. I had no trouble using next door's unprotected wireless network to connect with my DS but once I changed rooms, I was no longer in range so I need WEP encryption. I keep getting an error on my computer saying that there was an error when joining the network. Here is the router configuration window: So I type in my passphrase and I get the error. How can I bypass this? And what is the difference between a passphrase and a key?

The new OCZ enterprise drives offer native AES encryption, it seems the key is based off your bios password. Now tell me if this will work on the 2010 minis and EFI firmware password?

In advance, a disclaimer: Please don't lecture me about how we shouldn't be using WEP...I'm fully aware of just how bad WEP sucks from a network security standpoint. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to change it at the moment. Now that that's over with...why is it that NONE of the Apple devices I've used have ever worked correctly on the WEP network here? Where I work, we've got all Cisco equipment, but unfortunately, we're still on WEP. We've got hundreds of Windows devices that operate just fine with it. On the other hand, on every Mac portable device I've had since I started working here 7 years ago, it's been an issue. I enter all the information correctly when I try to add the network as an Airport profile, and one of two things happens: It prompts me for the password over and over. It takes the information like everything is ok, but then it doesn't connect (no "bars") Every once in a while I will get a device to connect and work, but it's usually only temporary...it'll just stop working all of a sudden. It doesn't have to do with proximity to the access points; believe me, I checked. I'm positive I'm entering everything correctly, as I actually work for the IT Department here. I've had numerous portables through the years including various MacBook/PowerBook Pros, iMacs, and now an iPad which also doesn't want to work on our WEP network. We have four buildings here, which are technically four separate networks, all configured with the same type of access points, and Apple devices don't connect properly in any of them. Being that we have plenty of Windows-based devices, as well as Android portable devices that work on our WEP network, it would appear that the problem is isolated to Apple.
Is anyone else here still stuck using WEP (perhaps at your workplace), and has anyone else had similar problems to what I'm having here? What did you do to resolve them? I'm dying to get my iPad on the wireless here, but it just won't cooperate.

I won't get my copy until later today, but I thought I would ask this question as I can't see it listed anywhere here. Time Machine is a security *plus* in the same way that all backups are. Without encryption turned on however, it's actually a security *minus* because it creates an easily readable, detailed, time-stamped, trail of all your actions at the computer. For that reason I won't be using it unless the encryption also works well. However, it seems that the system comes with it turned off by default, and I was wondering if anyone had turned on encryption and if there was a performance hit associated with that.

I'm new to Mac's and was going to fill out a form on a bank site. The site wouldn't let me because my browser wasn't secure enough. Are they planning on updating the browser to support this kind of encryption? What do you guys do when you run into this? Install Microsoft Internet Explorer for Mac's?

With the introduction of Mac OS 9 came on-the-fly Finder file encryption, I was recently wondering where that went. It's not a major thing; although it would make me feel safer about certain documents, I have no real need for it. Does anyone know why it wasn't implemented in OS X, or what happened to it? And to anyone who does use file encryption software: which is the best?

Upgraded to 10.7.4 today, and now,when trying to authenticate to existing WEP networks, OSX is mistakenly recognizing them as WEP Enterprise encryption. These networks still work fine on my Droid using normal WEP, so I can confirm that the network was not reconfigured.Â

terminal, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

There's an option to encrypt the files on your HD (they are automatically encrypted/decrypted as you use them). Do you use it? Is there much of a performance hit if you do?

Right, I want to secure my mac. Firstly, i understand a boot up BIOS password doesn't password the hard drive (i.e. you just take the hard drive out and someone can access all your documents). Is there any point in having a boot up password? The password that you set in security settings. Can you make it so that it cannot be removed by a system reset or password remover etc. Encrypted petition of the hard drive. This seems like the best option. Could i have say 20Gb of my hard drive encrypted, so that if someone stole my hard drive, documents stored in this petition could not be accessed. How would i go about this. And time capsule. How do i ensure that if someone steels my time capsule the data on it is secure and encrypted?

So the new Airport Extreme has two radios and allows one to use 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz simultaneously with 802.11 a/b/g/n in various configurations on either band. My question is this, can you use different types of encryption for each band/radio or are you forced to use one for all? What I'd like to do is have 2.4 ghz running 802.11 b/g for an older iBook and my iPhone using WEP encryption. Then have 5 ghz running 802.11n using WPA2 encryption. Both will use MAC address filtering to also tighten security a little. Lastly, can the guest login also use it's own type of encryption (or lack thereof) independent of the above?

I have some things I want to keep very safe. It is not pornography (i.e. kiddie porn), nor is it illegally downloaded media files.
Imagine if I had caught a local official doing something in public that was extremely bad, and I wanted to release the pictures anonymously to our local paper and did not want the police to seize my computer and prove it was me. This is not the situation, but it is the type of stuff I want to keep extremely safe.

When I try to use the disc encryption feature in Finder for a flash drive (from the sidebar), it asks for a password which I have done.
However, this encryption method for a flash drive is not working after I put in the password - a window informing me that a 'GUID Partition Table (GPT) partitioning scheme is required' appears. I don't know what this means.
I'm trying this on a MacBook Pro (OS 10.8.2) with a SanDisk flash drive (32 GB, MacOS Extended format).

I just noticed when I went to log in to the Apple Support Forum to post for the first time that the login page does not display the lock for it's security credentials in the upper right corner of Safari. Is this potentially an issue given that it asks for your AppleID that is used for iTunes? The webpage url starts with "https://" but it does not display the lock.

I just recently got my first mac, after getting completely fed up with Windows on plenty of pc's i took the plunge and made the switch and have zero complaints or problems thus far.
I used to burn plenty of DVD's on my pc's and my first line of business with the mac was to find a way to continue my collection. From my limited research I found out Toast was the easiest and most straightforward way to burn DVD's. I jumped on it and bought it without looking too far into it(possible mistake in the end?). went to copy a dvd and turns out it does not get through the encryption on DVD's(on current settings).
I'm looking for some help in burning encrypted dvd's. Whether it is another program to break the encryption and allow Toast to burn it, or another program altogether to do it all in

My job has a policy requiring all laptops (all mobile devices, actually) to be encrypted. This is full encryption, requiring a username and password before it can even begin to boot into Windows. It is a 3rd party product. My question is, is there anyway to run a bootcamp partition to support this kind of business encryption? How about OS X? What about inside of a VM?
