How secure are Apple Encrypted Disk Images?

Hello,

Title says it all. I'm on 10.8.5, if it matters. Using the 256bit encryption option.

I think they are as secure as the password you use to encrypt them. If they have any notable flaws, it has not come to my attention.

Agreed. They're entirely secure.

Thanks.

On the other hand, I discovered that they're snail slow. (And that's an insult to snails all over the world!)
