As Linux cannot access encrypted NTFS files and Windows can of course not access Ecryptfs (nor does either OS support the other one's native encryption), the alternatives there are limited. The main advantage of Truecrypt is if you have an encrypted removable disk that you want to be able to use under both Windows and Linux.

Under Linux, use Dm-crypt via LUKS for whole-disk encryption, and Ecryptfs for home directory encryption. This means: under Windows, use Bitlocker. This has superior integration, so it tends to be easier to use and administer not only for single-OS users and administrator but even for dual-OS users. I said it before, and I'll say it again: the best solution, unless you have very specific requirements, is to use your operating system's native encryption mechanism. As the audit moves into its next phase, digging past the startup and boot loader and into the core crypto, updates will be posted and maintained here.

: This is the home of the TrueCrypt auditing project.

But readily browsable if someone wishes to poke around within the source with their web browser.

/syglug/truecrypt: Another TrueCrypt v7.1 archive, though apparently not the latest.

/DrWhax/truecrypt-archive: This is a frequently cited, nearly complete, historical repository of previous TrueCrypt versions, tracking its evolution all the way back to when it was previously named “ScramDisk” (which is when we were first using and working with it).

what TrueCrypt becomes will not be called “TrueCrypt.”

TRUECRYPT ALTERNATIVE LINUX CODE

Given the deliberate continuing licensing encumbrance of the registered TrueCrypt trademark, it seems more likely that the current TrueCrypt code will be forked and subsequently renamed.

TrueCrypt.ch: A just launched, Swiss-based, possible new home for TrueCrypt.

TRUECRYPT ALTERNATIVE LINUX ARCHIVE

single 24.5MB ZIP archive containing all of the last TrueCrypt v7.1a materials.

There are also links to the latest versions of TrueCrypt which include all the source code + installation packages.

Quoting TrueCrypt Developer David: “There is no longer interest.”Īlso this thread of tweets seemed to indicate that a formal fork was in the works.

TrueCrypt Developer “David”: Said “Bitlocker is ‘good enough’ and Windows was original ‘goal of the project.’ ”.

Steven Barnhart: “Also said no government contact except one time inquiring about a ‘support contract.’ ”.

Steven Barnhart: “I asked and it was clear from the reply that "he" believes forking's harmful because only they are really familiar w/code.”.

Steven Barnhart (Paraphrasing): Developer “personally” feels that fork is harmful: “The source is still available as a reference though.”.

We worked hard on this for 10 years, nothing lasts forever.” Steven Barnhart wrote to an eMail address he had used before and received several replies from “David.” The following snippets were taken from a twitter conversation which then took place between Steven Barnhart and Matthew Green TrueCrypt Developer “David”: “We were happy with the audit, it didn't spark anything. To excerpt a key part of that article: And then the TrueCrypt developers were heard from.

Yes, Virginia, TrueCrypt is still safe to use.

TRUECRYPT ALTERNATIVE LINUX SOFTWARE

Only full-disk encryption is really "safe" because otherwise you are almost certainly leaving shadows of your data in the history of the other, unencrypted filesystems on your machine.īut, yes, for most usage you can always just put it through any number of bits of software to get your data back.You could continue using TrueCrypt. That's what you created them in, and so loading it up again to move your data out isn't a burden.īut there are few full-disk encryption products which allow booting on modern machines and the "plausible deniability" partitions you can hide an OS on. The volumes can still be read using - of all things - TrueCrypt if you really want. The problem with TrueCrypt today is not the encryption, as much as the age of the technology. Literally "Oh, I am required to log in and decrypt this for you? Here you go?" (boots into fake copy of OS that cannot be distinguished from the one you actually use from the same container).

TRUECRYPT ALTERNATIVE LINUX PASSWORD

TrueCrypt allows an encrypted bootloader, with alternate OS depending on which password you type. Nice as that is, TrueCrypt is more than just an encrypted volume, though.
