Back and forth speculation is great and all, but does anyone know of a solid alternative to TrueCrypt? Perferably open-source but at the very least not a potential government lap-dog like Microsoft?
- baq 12y agoone thing's for sure - bitlocker isn't it.
- mcovey 12y agotcplay - https://github.com/bwalex/tc-play https://github.com/bwalex/tc-play - is truecrypt compatible but based on dm-crypt, afaik it's only compatible with Linux/BSD although for privacy-conscious individuals, few other operating systems make sense to run. Wild guess here but you might want to recreate any containers using tcplay and copy files over, rather than continuing to use possibly compromised truecrypt containers. For full-disk encryption Linux has LUKS/dm-crypt/cryptsetup.
- pldg59 12y agoGiven that we know nothing about the security of TrueCrypt at this point, can we really say that tcplay is safe? I am especially reluctant to use TrueCrypt to access tcplay containers using the TC gui. Thoughts?
