So, the dawn of SSDs has made hibernation and sleep redundant. I use FDE for my SSD (luks, and whatever good defaults ubuntu gives me).
As for the cloud, I store nothing sensitive on there. I used truecrypt, but now I find VeraCrypt easier to use and install. I lost my last installer of truecrypt, and I don't trust the ones floating around.
VeraCrypt hasn't been audited yet. This is a bad thing :)
- leejoramo 10y agoI have been looking for any sort of software review of VeraCrypt or suggestions by security experts that they use and recommend VeraCrypt. I want something more than unknown people in forums saying they use it.
