description FileVault 2 Overview
FileVault 2 is Apple's native disk encryption solution for macOS. It uses XTS-AES-128 encryption to protect the entire contents of a Mac's startup disk. Because it is deeply integrated into macOS, it provides a seamless user experience, handling encryption and decryption in the background without impacting system performance. It is the standard for Mac users who want to ensure their data is protected against physical theft.
Its integration with iCloud for recovery keys makes it user-friendly, though it is a proprietary solution that lacks the transparency of open-source alternatives.
