Now that the dust has settled - do we know what happened to TrueCrypt?
What are the alternatives?

get an SSD that supports hardware encryption, preferably a TCG Opal compliant one..
>>58018345
Paul Le Roux became an informant and shut it down possibly at the FBI's request.
>>58018699
If encryption is not done at the software end and is the job of closed source firmware and hardware, does that not make it vulnerable to backdoors?
>>58018729
Are there any good open source alternatives?
>>58018345
VeraCrypt
>>58018729
You got a source for that, chummer?
>>58018345
NSA happened. Use Veracrypt or Tomb. https://www.dyne.org/software/tomb/

Is it very user friendly? I just about managed to send a message using PGP to a totally legal seller of totally legal items on a totally legal website, but even then I was having my hand held by a user guide.
Keep using truecrypt. It's audited and proven to be secure.
>>58019419
Extremely, its almost like bitlocker

>proven to be secure
You cannot prove that, faggot. It hasn't been proven to be insecure so far.
>>58019654
I meant so far.
>autism
>>58019574
Only the first stage of auditing was done,meaning no backdoors or third party privy.It was shutdown before the 2nd audit
>>58019672
That's one more audit than veracrypt has had.
>>58019672
The second stage was done as well. http://www.ghacks.net/2015/04/02/truecrypt-audit-phase-ii-completed-4-vulnerabilities-identified/

The guy behind truecrypt is very shady. Read the wikipedia entry. Some agency probably got to him due to his illegal activities and made him shut down truecrypt.
>>58019907
I imagine anyone who has spent a significant portion of their time working to develop a software kit for pedos will be shady.
