Question

Hi,

I used this code to check if USB is bit locker , how is done in MAC ?

Thanks,

#if WINDOWS
using Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Shell.PropertySystem;
using Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Shell;

namespace GssdDesktopClient.Maui.Helpers
{
    public class BitLockerHelper
    {
        public static (bool,int) IsBitLockerVolume(string drive)
        {
            IShellProperty prop = ShellObject.FromParsingName(drive).Properties.GetProperty("System.Volume.BitLockerProtection");
            int? bitLockerProtectionStatus = (prop as ShellProperty<int?>).Value;

            if (bitLockerProtectionStatus.HasValue && (bitLockerProtectionStatus == 1 ||
                bitLockerProtectionStatus == 3 || bitLockerProtectionStatus == 5 || bitLockerProtectionStatus == 6))
                return (true, bitLockerProtectionStatus.Value);
            return (false,bitLockerProtectionStatus.Value);
        }
    }

Hello,

Bitlocker is a Windows disk encryption feature and it's not supported for MacOS. Please see BitLocker overview.

macOS supports encryption. Sample command line app where you pass the volume name to check.

import Foundation

func main() {
    for s in CommandLine.arguments[1...] {
        let u = URL(fileURLWithPath: s)
        let rv = try! u.resourceValues(forKeys: [.volumeIsEncryptedKey])
        print(u.path)
        print(rv.volumeIsEncrypted!)
    }
}

main()
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS)
