I am concerned that if it's not AES-256, then nothing will have been gained by the federal user as anything less than AES-256 does not meet the minimum standards for acceptable encryption for federal users. But I can't find out anything about what level of encryption Lion File Vault FDE will be.

"FileVault 2 uses XTS-AES 128 encryption to secure the data on your Mac."
