Thread-topic: FileVault 2 encryption (Previously [Fed-Talk] Re: CMV/CAVP Process Clarification (Previously [Fed-Talk] NIST Cert for iPhone and iPad Crypto))
If any of you are part of the developer program, this was discussed in length on the developer forums. There was a WWDC session that detailed the changes coming in Lion for the encryption modules and engine. Lion uses all new stuff. If I recall correctly, it is based on the work done with iOS 5 that is currently going through the FIPS process. The rationale for rolling their own was that Apple wanted a stable, controlled encryption platform on which their products rely rather than the often changing OpenSSL platform over which Apple had no control. This lets Apple retain FIPS validated status more easily (my thought, not Apple's) across OS upgrades (iOS, OS X) and across devices (iPad, iPhone, Mac).
