It also states that its a "core part of the DragonFly BSD operating system" so I asume those involved with the project have some relation to DragonFly BSD, and assumedly *care* about how well its implimented.Īlso, I'm not using it myself (I use dm-crypt/LUKS), though I have it installed. I can't comment on the tc-play implimentation of TrueCrypt but the README does provide some comments on TrueCrypt and some implimentation notes. See app-crypt/tc-play, "a free, pretty much fully featured and stable TrueCrypt implementation".

And, AFAIR, you need Windows 7 professional and up to even get Bitlocker.Įdit: Oh and to use BitLocker, your computer TPM module must be activated. This is complete nonsense, as BitLocker is fine for whole partitions/disks, but has (AFAIK) no container feature. Why would that be true and then release a new version on May 28th 2014? You should migrate any data encrypted by TrueCrypt to encrypted disks or virtual disk images supported on your platform. Such integrated support is also available on other platforms. Windows 8/7/Vista and later offer integrated support for encrypted disks and virtual disk images. The development of TrueCrypt was ended in 5/2014 after Microsoft terminated support of Windows XP.

And although I don't have really critical data to protect, my fear is that this tc-play software is implementing the same wrong thing as TrueCrypt does. Posted: Tue 2:46 pm Post subject: Re: alternatives to TrueCrypt Yes, precisely when I was browsing those pages the question came to my mind: what are people using, and what do you recommend?
One can find many theories of various sorts, though. It seems that currently there are no public informations which answer that. Posted: Tue 1:54 pm Post subject: Re: alternatives to TrueCrypt What is strange is that the project is down, when you don't get down a project with a security hole, you fix it. I don't use it myself, but i saw that story and it wakeup my curiosity. Posted: Tue 12:48 pm Post subject: Re: alternatives to TrueCryptĪFAIK there is not public statement apart from a red warning in its home site saying that TrueCrypt is not secure. The current upstream is version 2.0, but only 1.2 is available via portage, there is a bug open, and bumping the 1.2 ebuild to 2.0 works (obviously you would need to use a local overlay).
see app-crypt/tc-play, "a free, pretty much fully featured and stable TrueCrypt implementation". My needs are: I just need to encrypt an external disk which will be used only under Linux. My question is: is there any tested alternative to TrueCrypt?. Posted: Tue 10:59 am Post subject: Re: alternatives to TrueCrypt I use LUKS to encrypt a whole LVM set of partitions.
Hey! The Gentoo wiki is worth to be read ) My opinion may change depending on the results of the security auditĪs for alternatives.perhaps dm-crypt or tcplay It is my personal opinion that TrueCrypt 7.1a is still safe to use for now.

It has to be free software.Ĭomputers are like air conditioners, they stop working properly if you open Windows My question is: is there any tested alternative to TrueCrypt? I was interested in using it until I saw this message. AFAIK there is not public statement apart from a red warning in its home site saying that TrueCrypt is not secure. Recently "something" happened to TrueCrypt.
