If you want to use Truecrypt tech but something that is still updated, try VeraCrypt [1]. It uses the same codebase but has a number of fixes and improvements.

- saganus 11y agoAre there any new developments regarding the TC license? I seem to recall that part of the problem with doing a follow-up project based on TC's source was the license. Has VeraCrypt addressed this successfully or did they just went along, assuming no one would come forward to sue them for license breach? Does anyone have any more info on that?
- beeboop 11y agoThe chance of TrueCrypt suing anyone is near zero. They only stipulation they really gave anyone for using their code was to not use the same name, which VeraCrypt is satisfying (unlike the knuckleheads at truecrypt.ch).

- abandonliberty 11y agoIsn't that riskier than using a buggy but well audited code base? So far I've stuck to TC for the simple reason that without thorough audits I imagine it would be fairly easy for an attacker to compromise something like veracrypt.
