Mac OS X – Encrypt Private Files and Folders
August 12th, 2007
Windows and Linux users have a third party solution for creating and mounting virtual encrypted disks with the utility TrueCrypt. While the developers of TrueCrypt indicate a planned Mac OSX version, it doesn’t appear they’re testing one right now.
As the owner of a spanking new 24″ iMac, I wondered what other encryption utilities were available for the Mac. Guess what? You don’t need a third party utility – you have the ability right now to create encrypted disk images using the OS’s built in utility Disk Utility. Matt at Mac OS X Tips has an excellent step-by-step process.
