Encryption with and without SUID
If you do not have a SUNet ID:
- Before encrypting, you should back up your computer to a secure device (such as using Time Machine to back up to an encrypted external hard drive).
- Your computer should be running MacOS 10.7.5 or higher
- Go to System Preferences, select Security & Privacy and turn on FileVault. An encryption recovery key will be shown to you on the screen, you should save this in a secure location should you need it in the future.
For more information on encrypting your Apple computer, visit the Apple support page or the Apple Store. If you would like TDS's assistance, you can contact us at 650-725-8000 from 8-5, Monday-Friday.
