Abstract
The purpose of this poster is to present the growing practice of data hiding and data encryption on consumer Apple computers. The technique of encryption was once only for government agencies but now is fully integrated into the Macintosh OS X. Hiding data on an Apple computer can be as easy as hiding the file/folder so that an icon no longer appears, or users can enable a 128-bit AES encryption program that is built in.
