**Note: Cauliflower Vest is being Archived
On April 15, 2021, Cauliflower Vest will be archived. Cauliflower Vest has not had active development in quite some time, so we think it’s time for the repository to reflect that state. The code will remain available, but the GitHub project will be archived and our developers will no longer be maintaining or updating this project. You can, of course, continue to fork from this project and develop your own tools.
Let us know at cauliflowervest-eng@googlegroups.com if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you, Cauliflower Vest Eng Team

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), Duplicity, and Firmware/BIOS passwords (Mac & Linux). 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 which runs on Linux, for use with LUKS and Duplicity.
-
A script to sync BitLocker recovery keys from Active Directory.
Full source is available for all components.
To get started, begin with the Introduction wiki page.
Upon releasing the update to App Engine, start the schema update (/ui/#/admin/) otherwise search and key retrieval will break. Progress can be monitored in App Engine logs. Logs will contain
UpdateSchema complete for VOLUME_TYPE with N updates!
for each volume type after successful migration.
