[QUOTE="blairtechguy, post: 1312310, member: 214970"] I would recommend TrueCrypt. You can encapsulate a truecrypt volume in another. So if someone hypothetically puts a gun to your head and demands to know your truecrypt volumes password, you can give them the surrounding encryption password with fake private documents and they won't think that there is anything else inside. They refer to it as Plausible Deniability on their page. This may or may not be within the scope of your needs but is always a good extra step to securing your information. The encryption method XTS-AES is used in FileVault2 and an option in Trucrypt. TrueCrypt does have multiple options for hashing and encryption algorithms. The only benefit to filevault2 is its integration into osx. [/QUOTE]
