I like truecrypt- but its full disk encryption only works for windows (same for the Decoy password trick I think). <br>
<br>
Truecrypt is more trustworthy if your threat model includes the people who would have access to backdoors in proprietary software. If those people care about you, your weak link is OS X in general. But hey, you might as well use truecrypt, it's not that much extra work. <br>
<br>
If you're concerned about this sort of thing what you really want is full disk encryption because that also protects you from tampering. Unfortunately the only ones I know for mac (PGP, SOPHOS) are commercial software again... Seagate FDE drives don't work on macs either... There's gotta be some way to do it with open software....<br>

discussion), I've just acquired a Macbook Air to replace my dead MBP<br>
and the old Win7 I've been using in the interim.<br>
<br>
I will be using it in various contexts (e.g. at hacker conferences,<br>
crossing US borders, for business with high security needs, etc),<br>
entailing multiple possible threats. I'd like to ensure it's fairly<br>
well locked down just in case. I am not aware of any specific threats<br>
against me per se; I'd just like to be cautious.<br>
