What "equivalent software build-in to OS X" has FIPS 140-1 or 140-2 validation?
http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140val-all.htm
According to Federal regulations, it's not encrypted if it's not validated.
All Federal agencies are required to follow these rules, not just NIH.
At this time, nothing built-in to Mac OS X has FIPS 140-1 or 140-2
validation. Very few products from any source provide validated file or
disk encryption for Mac OS X.
