Most people took TC recommending Bitlocker as a joke (myself included), because it's a closed-source proprietary encryption method made by Microsoft, which is the ethic that TrueCrypt has represented in the decade that it existed, but even if that's a bit too subtle humor, if you look at the options they give for encryption on other platforms [1], you can see that it's obviously not a serious security-based recommendation. For Linux, they recommend: >Use any integrated support for encryption. Search available installation packages for words encryption and crypt, install any of the packages found and follow its documentation. Does that seem serious to you? For Mac OSX, here is the configuration they recommend for creating an encrypted volume: http://truecrypt.sourceforge.net/OSXNewImage.png http://truecrypt.sourceforge.net/OSXNewImage.png Note where under Encryption they've selected "None". 1. http://truecrypt.sourceforge.net/OtherPlatforms.html http://truecrypt.sourceforge.net/OtherPlatforms.html
