Overview

Cauliflower Vest is a recovery key escrow solution. The project initially started with end-to-end Mac OS X FileVault 2 support, and later added support for BitLocker (Windows), LUKS (Linux), and Duplicity. The goal of this project is to streamline cross-platform enterprise management of disk encryption technologies.

Cauliflower Vest offers the ability to:

• Forcefully enable FileVault 2 encryption.
• Automatically escrow recovery keys to a secure Google App Engine server.
• Delegate secure access to recovery keys so that volumes may be unlocked or reverted.
• Sync BitLocker recovery keys from Active Directory.

Components:

• A Google App Engine based service which receives and securely escrows recovery keys.
• A GUI client running on the OS X user machines, which enables FileVault 2 encryption, obtains the recovery key, and sends it to the escrow service.
• A CLI tool, csfde, which activates FileVault 2 encryption on OS X 10.7 Lion, which may be used independently of the GUI client.
• A CLI tool which runs on Linux, for use with LUKS and Duplicity.
• A script to sync BitLocker recovery keys from Active Directory to Clipper.
