MacOS Complete Disk Encryption - Geomaster44 - Jun 20, 2018
I'm looking around for the best open source disk encryption for a Macbook Pro 2017 (MacOS 10.13.5). I was looking around and I want something more then File Vault that doesn't allow apple to have back door access. I want something that protects the whole disk and logon. I was looking at the idea of a USB-C chip authorizer by Yubico or an open source encryption that uses a password. I do use VeraCrypt to protect single vaults bit I want something that can protect the disk completely. Any suggestions?

No, I'm using default OS X with no changes to security and only one partition. I just don't want to use file fault and yes my laptop potentially maybe taken by police. I'm on probation.

How would one go about doing this? I came up with his, MacVault + Framework password. Partition my hard drive encrypt on with VeraCrypt, installed VMware running windows with bitlocker, inside the Windows VM I have a VeraCrypt partition storing my documents. So is this secure enough?

Why don't you use Linux with a few of the options? Image on VMware.
