Let's not forget that an enormous number of people in the world still use Windows. We need a secure, reliable, and free solution for them. The only app that currently fills these requirements for Windows is TrueCrypt.
That's why I think it's a great idea to do a security audit of TrueCrypt since that's the best available solution for a big segment of the world's population.
- mhogomchungu 13y agoThere is the truecrypt binary and truecrypt formatted encrypted volume.The format of the truecrypt volume is known and there exists open source solutions that can create and open truecrypt volumes. All it will take to have alternatives in windows is for windows based block device encryption applications to pick up the format.It is surprising it hasnt happened yet and this drive is completely ignoring this line of thinking.

EDIT: Keep in mind we are just talking about Windows solutions here. And if Windows is backdoored, it is not going to make much difference if BitLocker is also backdoored by the same agency.
