Please Note: According to the programs author, TrueCrypt is not secure because it could contain unfixed security issues, therefore you should download TrueCrypt only if you are migrating data encrypted by TrueCrypt.Īs The development of TrueCrypt was ended in 5/2014 you should migrate any data encrypted by TrueCrypt to encrypted disks or virtual disk images supported on your platform. Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Serpent, and Twofish.2) No TrueCrypt volume can be identified (volumes cannot be distinguished from random data). Provides two levels of plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password: 1) Hidden volume (steganography) and hidden operating system.Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent.
If you're a terrorist they'll just drone your ass without any actual proof being needed. If the police get hold of an encrypted volume they'll subpoena the decryption key and if you don't provide it you're screwed - certainly in the UK that is the case. Incidentally if you're under investigation for criminal activity TrueCrypt will not help you in most jurisdictions. Thus I'd recommending getting the last known good version. Since the release of TrueCrypt 7.1a, the tool has been used by millions of people around the world. But the Gibson Research Corporation argues TrueCrypt is still safe to use. The official website is providing TrueCrypt 7.2 as the latest version, but that’s no longer being maintained. Now call me cynical but I think 2) or 3) or a mix of them are a lot more likely than 1). TrueCrypt 7.1a is what you will be using now. The NSA have decided that TrueCrypt is too secure and they have a way to get into Bitlocker, and have paid the developers of TrueCrypt to tell people to migrate. Microsoft paid them a pile of cash to stop working and recommend Bitlocker because they want to get people to use it. They've decide Bitlocker is better and are acting in good faith by recommending it The developers of TrueCrypt know it is insecure and have decided for whatever reason not to fix. Now you can get the last release before that, i.e. The developers have made one more release 7.2 which is plastered with security warnings It says TrueCrypt is insecure and strongly advises you to move to Bitlocker.
