The TL;DR is that based on this audit, Truecrypt appears to be a relatively well-designed piece of crypto software. The NCC audit found no evidence of deliberate backdoors, or any severe design flaws that will make the software insecure in most instances.
That doesn't mean Truecrypt is perfect. The auditors did find a few glitches and some incautious programming -- leading to a couple of issues that could, in the right circumstances, cause Truecrypt to give less assurance than we'd like it to.

- spdustin 12y agoPlenty of people check comments before the article. The summary was helpful.
- finnh 12y agoYes, the summary was helpful. I think GP is merely saying "please make it clear that you are cutting-and-pasting from the post itself"

- chadzawistowski 12y agoCan you still edit the post?
- java-man 12y agoNo, I can't. I think the ability to edit disappears after a while.
