hey guys, so i may be missing something here, but i have some files i've encrypted using 256 bit ASE in disk utility. I make a disk image, select my encryption, enter a password, and then my image is made, i mount it, add my files, then eject the disk image.
I then go to mount it and it just runs like a regular un-encrypted disk image would. i can select files, move them around, and even run them without so much as a admin password, let alone my 20 digit encyrption password. Am i doing this is the wrong order or is this the nature of disk utilities "encryption" and if the latter is the case i fail to see the point of offering an encryption protocol that should take a century to hack open with absolutely no security measures.
thank you in advance.
