The simple solution is of course to encrypt individual files (with PGP), but this can be tedious in some scenarios. Another option would be to use Dm-crypt and access files via a Linux virtual machine (which you could bundle as an appliance on an unencrypted partition on the disk). Depending on your adversaries' profile, you may elect to continue to use Truecrypt until vulnerabilities are made public - you need to evaluate the risk of someone stealing your disk now and decrypting it later if a devastating vulnerability are found.

As Linux cannot access encrypted NTFS files and Windows can of course not access Ecryptfs (nor does either OS support the other one's native encryption), the alternatives there are limited. The main advantage of Truecrypt is if you have an encrypted removable disk that you want to be able to use under both Windows and Linux. Under Linux, use Dm-crypt via LUKS for whole-disk encryption, and Ecryptfs for home directory encryption. This means: under Windows, use Bitlocker.

This has superior integration, so it tends to be easier to use and administer not only for single-OS users and administrator but even for dual-OS users. I said it before, and I'll say it again: the best solution, unless you have very specific requirements, is to use your operating system's native encryption mechanism. As the audit moves into its next phase, digging past the startup and boot loader and into the core crypto, updates will be posted and maintained here.

/syglug/truecrypt: Another TrueCrypt v7.1 archive, though apparently not the latest.

/DrWhax/truecrypt-archive: This is a frequently cited, nearly complete, historical repository of previous TrueCrypt versions, tracking its evolution all the way back to when it was previously named вЂњScramDiskвЂќ (which is when we were first using and working with it).

what TrueCrypt becomes will not be called вЂњTrueCrypt.вЂќ

Given the deliberate continuing licensing encumbrance of the registered TrueCrypt trademark, it seems more likely that the current TrueCrypt code will be forked and subsequently renamed. TrueCrypt.ch: A just launched, Swiss-based, possible new home for TrueCrypt.

There are also links to the latest versions of TrueCrypt which include all the source code + installation packages.

Quoting TrueCrypt Developer David: вЂњThere is no longer interest.вЂќДЄlso this thread of tweets seemed to indicate that a formal fork was in the works.

TrueCrypt Developer вЂњDavidвЂќ: Said вЂњBitlocker is вЂgood enoughвЂ™ and Windows was original вЂgoal of the project.вЂ™ вЂќ.

Steven Barnhart: вЂњAlso said no government contact except one time inquiring about a вЂsupport contract.вЂ™ вЂќ.

Steven Barnhart: вЂњI asked and it was clear from the reply that 'he' believes forking's harmful because only they are really familiar w/code.вЂќ.

Steven Barnhart (Paraphrasing): Developer вЂњpersonallyвЂќ feels that fork is harmful: вЂњThe source is still available as a reference though.вЂќ.

We worked hard on this for 10 years, nothing lasts forever.вЂќ

Steven Barnhart wrote to an eMail address he had used before and received several replies from вЂњDavid.вЂќ The following snippets were taken from a twitter conversation which then took place between Steven Barnhart and Matthew Green TrueCrypt Developer вЂњDavidвЂќ: вЂњWe were happy with the audit, it didn't spark anything. To excerpt a key part of that article: And then the TrueCrypt developers were heard from.

Yes, Virginia, TrueCrypt is still safe to use.
