One of the functions added to the fdesetup tool on 10.9 is removerecovery. This function removes the current recovery key(s) from a FileVault 2-encrypted Mac and can be used to remove with the personal and/or institutional recovery keys from a Mac.
One interesting aspect of this is that this function can be used to remove all recovery keys from a FileVault 2-encrypted Mac running Mavericks. Once the recovery keys have been removed from your Mac, only FileVault 2-enabled accounts will be able to unlock or decrypt it. For more details, see below the jump.
