Wow, I've been mostly offline for a few days, and this morning when
playing catch up on the news, learned that Truecrypt, one of my all time
favorite apps, is no more.
Well, considering the fact that Linux comes with its own bunch of
encrytion possibilities on its own, the demise of TrueCrypt on Linux is
neglectable.
Some people in Switzerland want to take over development, for further
information take a look at www.truecrypt.ch.
And then there's tc-play, a free implementation of TrueCrypt based on
dm-crypt (https://github.com/bwalex/tc-play), which allows reading and
creating TrueCrypt volumes on your own. It just lacks a good GUI so far.
Cryptsetup since 1.6 supports reading the TrueCrypt on disk format.
And zuluCrypt is a frontend to cryptsetup and tcplay, which acts as a
GUI for those.
So no loss at all if TrueCrypt would really cease to exist.
