encrypted

Hello all. Please bear with me. This is pretty important to me and I’ll try my best to describe the situation. CURRENT: - Mac Studio, Monterey 12.6.8 - 3 Kingston DataTraveler Locker+ G3 (model DTLPG3) hardware encrypted drives. All 3 drives have been updated/formatted on the Mac Pro with the...

What does an encrypted TMachine backup has to offer? Are there options to encrypting the TMbackup?

Ever since I "upgraded" to Monterey from Big Sur, my APFS formatted external SSDs take forever to mount. The same drives mounted instantly on Big Sur. The issue exists on both my Intel and M1 based machines running macOS 12.6.3. The issue specifically affects APFS encrypted disks as my...

How is it safe to buy a refurbished iPhone like from Amazon since the data from the previous owner could still be on the device and accessed by you or because the previous owner's data could become mixed in with your data or accounts, even if the device is factory reset?

Hi, I've recently began researching ios kernel security. However, I've been struggling to find out whether the kernel cache for ios 15 is encrypted or not. I know it was left unencrypted for ios 10, however I couldn't find any information on whether they went back to encrypting them or not. Any...

Hi, I'd like to encrypt my whole disk using FileVault on a 2018 MBP (using recovery key and not the iCloud account). Is FileVault the best choice? I've read that its encryption algorithm is not state of the art. Or is there a better free alternative? Thanks,

Starting from this article Could Apple rig up a feature where it would detect an Apple iPhone on the other end and start an encrypted voice link rather than the normal wireless link? Or... perhaps it would be pre-determined by the user. I know that there are various apps that do this but it...

Im trying to do a backup on my Mac, but it stuck saying 'preparing backup'. When I cancel the backup, its stuck saying Encrypting. I don't remember exactly, but I think last time I started encrypting the backup disk I cancelled it because it was taking too long. Is there a solution to this...

Hey everyone, In order to hide my sensitive documents I've created an encrypted .dmg with Disk Utility and I've put them all in. Those documents exist nowhere else on my hard drive. When I use Time Machine to backup my HD, does TM automatically detect changes within that encrypted .dmg and...

How did this ever come about and how is it nothing has ever been done about it? iTunes entices you to turn on encrypted backups for your iPhone without any warning that there is NO way to recover your password if you forget it. Horrible but OK fine. Whatever. But how is it that there is NO way...

Alright guys, I'm in real trouble here. I accidentally erased my main hard-drive with all my stuff on it. Worse than that, I only partially erased it, as I shut off the computer when I realised what I was doing. Worse again, the hard-drive was encrypted, which makes potential data recovery even...
