This is because the key is required only when a Core Storage unlock command is performed, but there is no corresponding lock command, and there seems to be no way to normally unmount a core storage volume unless it's a single external drive, in order to force a new unlock prompt. To answer my own earlier question, once you do the encryption the password isn't stored anywhere, which means you won't be given a keychain capable prompt until you restart your machine. Yeah, Disk Utility seems to do this okay for the simple cases, however, command-line is the only way to do it for non-standard cases such as enabling Core Storage encryption on a disk image volume, or an Apple RAID, both of which are a bit fiddly and result in devices that Disk Utility (the app) can't see. I'd been hoping to do what I usually do with encrypted disk-images which is encrypt them with a completely random key, store that in a keychain, then secure the keychain with a good strong pass-phrase that I can actually type as required, and have it automatically lock after a while so if I unmount the disk I'd need to re-authenticate.Īnyway, I'm just a bit bewildered as to where the pass-phrase supplied for core-storage encryption actually goes, as it must be stored somewhere for the drive to decrypt properly, but where? Since a recovery keychain can be used to provide an existing password for core storage, I would have thought it must be going into a keychain somewhere, but I don't see any entry that looks right. I'm assuming that any pass-phrase I supply is actually being used to protect the real encryption key, hidden in the header for the encrypted file-system, however, when I order disk utility to unmount and mount an encrypted volume, I don't receive any kind of password prompt. Secure Notes - an encrypted secure notepad to store private notes etc.Been interested in this myself lately, but I don't suppose anyone knows where the password being used for an encrypted backup (or any encrypted core storage volume for that matter) is actually stored?.Pattern Unlock (both visible & invisible) support on Android devices.Scrambled Keypad support (to prevent shoulder surfing).
