Apple

When you say it's in process, what exactly do you mean? I checked http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140InProcess.pdf and the only modules listed from Apple are the iPhone and iPad FIPS cryptographic modules. I know these will serve as the basis for some of the ML module but I'd like to see ML listed to track it (I'll take a long sleep since the iOS modules are taking forever).

I looked through the command and it looks good but I haven't seen anything that would give us the option of changing the FV startup screen to include a government-required banner (before logon attempt). Any chance this has been addressed? (yes, I submitted a feature request a long time ago)

Management tools for FileVault

FileVault in OS X provides new management capabilities using the fdesetup command-line tool. fdesetup allows third-party management tools to enable FileVault, determine encryption status, capture and manage recovery keys, and add users to a FileVault-encrypted system as well as synchronize directory-based user authentication credentials with the local credentials for FileVault access

FIPS 140-2 certification is in progress

Encryption in Mountain Lion is in the process of being certified for FIPS 140-2, the government security standard.
