How to create a fully-encrypted HFS+ hard drive
Authored by: doneitner on Thu, Mar 6 2008 at 9:31PM PST
It is rather complex, unfortunately. That's why I submitted the hint so people who are interested will know how to do it. I spent the better part of a weekend figuring this out. It should be made easier. Until it is, this works.

There are more reasons one might want an encrypted disk (or disk image) than just "evil villains" as you put it. :) There's probably half as many reasons as there are people using computers. Encrypted disk images made with Disk Utility are good but they're not the only means to any particular end and frankly I'm not seeing any performance improvement in using an encrypted DMG file versus a TrueCrypt encrypted volume -- they both drag my 80+ MB/s drives to around 30MB/s.
