Ben: As far as I am aware, File Vault under OS X 10.7 does meet the
standards. We are treating it that way at NASA.
It is full disk encryption and is FIPS 140-2 validated according to:

Aloha. As with all laptops, our NOAA MacBooks need to implement full HD level encryption. I was recently informed that FileVault no longer meets the necessary standards and that a 3rd party encryption package will need to be used. I am concerned as the Windows version of this 3rd party package has caused no end of problems. Does anyone have any information on the subject and the apparent indication that FileVault is no longer sufficient for encryption?
