Hello,

Thank you for your fast reply. Unfortuanately this is not the information I am looking for.

Apple implemented a FileVault Dialog into the setup for new installed

devices. Since when is this FileVault Dialog part of the initial setup?

Understood.

I would of suspected 10.7 w/ the introduction of Filevault2

I do remember setting up clients with new 2015 MBP computers— so this would of been OS X 10.11 El Capitan

and side stepping the FileVault.

This falls right in there with your speculation: <According to some media it seems to be either MacOS 10.10 or MacOS 10.13.4.>

Are you writing a dissertation on the subject?

This ref says 2014 Yosemite: https://www.intego.com/mac-security-blog/yosemite-filevault/

Use FileVault to encrypt the startup disk on your Mac - Apple ...

Hi,

Thank you for the information. I write a thesis over disk encryption applications. I already found some news articles but it would be much better if I have any official information I could cite.

I hoped finding some information in the change notes but it seems like the older change notes are not completly available anymore.

You certainly will have to get creative in your research methodology — from wikipedia on Filevault2, sited references maybe the path forward to the archives.

one example:
