How to fix GDI leaks in Internet Explorer If you like this article, please share it! -> Update : TrueCrypt developer drops new bombshell - open source fork "impossible"! They launched the TrueCrypt Audit, which recently cleared TrueCrypt in the Phase 1 tests (PDF) ( which found no evidence of backdoors or otherwise intentionally malicious code) on the 14th of April and was scheduled to begin Phase 2 ( formal cryptanalysis). That's where Matthew Green ( a Cryptography Research Professor at the Johns Hopkins University), and Kenneth White ( a Principal Scientist at BAO Systems) come in. Of course, just because its source code is available for inspection does not mean someone has actually gone through it. This is why many users still prefer to use TrueCrypt, even when major operating systems like Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X offer their own disk encryption software. Its open source nature is important because the biggest potential vulnerability in any encryption software is the inclusion of a backdoor, which cannot be revealed without inspecting the code. It is not only free to use across multiple platforms, it is also an open-source encryption software whereas most encryption software are proprietary in nature. This sudden development is extremely troubling because TrueCrypt has been the bulwark of the security-conscious for many years. However, this version of TrueCrypt will only decrypt TrueCrypt containers - its encryption ability has been disabled / removed.
Right at the end is a link to TrueCrypt 7.2, the first update since TrueCrypt 7.1a was released in 2012. That warning is then followed by instructions on how users may migrate from TrueCrypt to BitLocker. You should migrate any data encrypted by TrueCrypt to encrypted disks or virtual disk images supported on your platform. Such integrated support is also available on other platforms (click here for more information). Windows 8/7/Vista and later offer integrated support for encrypted disks and virtual disk images. The development of TrueCrypt was ended in 5/2014 after Microsoft terminated support of Windows XP. This page exists only to help migrate existing data encrypted by TrueCrypt. WARNING: Using TrueCrypt is not secure as it may contain unfixed security issues They shut down the website and redirected visitors to a simple page hosted by SourceForge, with a disturbing warning : Sometime on the 28th of May, 2014, the anonymous developers of TrueCrypt mysteriously pulled the plug on their popular encryption software.
