FileVault
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

FileVault is a system that protects files on a computer. It can be found in the Mac OS X operating system.

It works by encrypting the users homefolder using a 128-bits Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm. The algorithm automatically encrypts and decrypts on the fly.
