All, if you haven't reached out to Chris Stone, it's worth your while — he's
directly engaged on the next generation of FV and macOS security. He not only
would like to get solid feedback on the "right" way to implement full-disk
encryption that would enable such things as smartcard decryption, but also can
talk to you a bit about their current thoughts on the path forward... and I for
one was completely intrigued (and excited) to see the level of engagement and
thought process that's been put into it.

    All,

    -the FedTalk List

    For those of you who don't know me, I am one of the Apple SEs working out
of the Reston, Va office, supporting much of the US Federal Government. I would
like to speak to you all about this thread, can you all write to me to schedule
a call with me, or with my coworker who is working with me on this topic?

my earlier email) says that BitLocker does *not* support pre-boot
authentication with smartcards... it only allows smartcard decryption for
removable drives and non-system data drives (e.g., smartcard decryption *after*
the full OS has loaded, and critically, has loaded full support for the
smartcard driver/support stack).

Because... that’s less secure than FV2 + PIV login at login window.
