Encrypting a users's home directory on Mac OS X
This document explains how to place a user's home directory on an encrypted device image (DMG) under Mac OS X 10.1 or later. This is useful to ensure that all the files for the user you decide to encrypt are safe from prying eyes. This document will be of interest to attorneys, doctors, programmers, or anyone else who has sensitive documents (personal files, tax documents, secret or classified documents, etc). Placing the entire user's folder on an encrypted disk ensures that every file belonging to that user will be encrypted (as long as it is saved within their home directory). This includes many log files, preference files, email, AIM or ICQ logs, internet history and cache, etc.
