Hi,
In light of the recent events with True Crypt and the developers
temporarily scuttling the project, what is the view of True Crypt
today? Is is still trusted? What versions? Thanks!
Hi Joe,
As I understand it, while the decision to shutter the project has come
as a shock to users and the security community at large, there seems to
be no reason to question the security of TrueCrypt beyond that which we
already questioned before the project closed. I would, however, not
trust anything beyond version 7.1a as that seems to be the final release
before 'whatever happened' happened. The new release, while probably not
compromised either, is a little suspect due to the time that it was
released.
I personally am continuing to use TrueCrypt for now. But I'd definitely
keep an eye on the security world and be prepared to move if anything
bad were discovered.
