Speed Up Filevault Decryption

Newer Macs come with a T2 Security Chip with its own Secure Enclave, a tamper-resistent bit of silicon that allows high levels of security just like on an iPhone and iPad. It’s used to enable Touch ID and allow Apple Pay on laptops, but it also handles a number of other tasks, including full-disk encryption. (The T2 chip began appearing in Macs with the iMac Pro in very late 2017; see this list to check if you’re not sure if yours is one of them.)

FileVault 2 is a whole-disk encryption program that encrypts data on a Mac to prevent unauthorized access from anyone that does not have the decryption key or user's account credentials. Besides, should FileVault be turned on or off? Write speed has roughly been quartered whilst read speed is a little over half. The CPU is the bottleneck but if you have plenty of physical threads or even Intel Hyperthreads this might not bother many users. The difference is less on an hard disk drive which is slower than an SSD to begin with. The results for both devices are shown at the link. Hi Wesley, yes it is indeed still listed because it is still in Jamf Connect 2.0.2 and 2.1. This because it still works on Catalina. It’s not because Big Sur changed how Secure Token works that Jamf Connect should change its functionality or remove features for Catalina.

On pre-T2 models, macOS uses a combination of software and hardware-accelerated encryption to encrypt all the data on your disk using FileVault, which can be turned on and off via the Security & Privacy preference pane’s FileVault tab. It can take an extremely long time for FileVault to encrypt a drive completely the first time on these older Macs and bog down a system while it is underway. Afterwards, Macs generally handle live reading and writing at almost the same speed as if the data weren’t encrypted.

FileVault prevents the data on a disk at rest—not powered up and logged in—from being extractable in any effective way. The data is just a bunch of digital garbage without access to the key, and the key can’t be retrieved without the password of one of the FileVault-linked accounts on the Mac, which has to be entered at startup time to unlock the drive.

With the T2 chip managing encryption, what is FileVault left to do on these models? It’s rather subtle.

With FileVault off on a T2-bearing Mac, if a ne’er-do-well extracted the drive from a Mac, the contents remain inaccessible. That’s an improvement over pre-T2 Macs, where the non-FileVault-protected contents would be fully readable. It’s a baseline security improvement. (As a result, by the way, T2-equipped Macs that receive an Erase This Device command via Find My Device become nearly instantly “erased,” just like a Mac with no T2 chip and FileVault enabled: erasing the encryption key renders the drive’s contents permanently irretrievable.)

However, without enabling FileVault, a Mac merely has to be booted for the full-disk encryption to start working, even if it doesn’t automatically log into an account. While the encryption is locked to a hardware key managed by the Secure Enclave in the T2 chip, decryption kicks in as soon as the Mac boots to a login screen. A malicious party might be able to subvert macOS or use hardware methods to access data from the mounted and running drive.

Turn on FileVault, however, and a T2-equipped Mac engages in the same boot behavior as one that handles disk encryption in software. Instead of loading macOS directly, the Recovery partition boots in a special mode that requires entry of the password of any account allowed to use FileVault. Until that password is entered, the disk’s contents remain encrypted just as if it were at rest.

I recommend enabling FileVault on T2-equipped Macs for the greatest security and peace of mind. The bonus? Because the T2 chip has already encrypted the drive, there’s no overhead and no delay: FileVault is immediately enabled.
