Just carry on using TrueCrypt 7.1a for now (subject to anything found in the ongoing audit project). The strange turn of events surrounding the TrueCrypt website do *not* seem to me to be a good reason to cease using TrueCrypt. I do not take seriously the claims that TrueCrypt is insecure; they seem to me to be invalidated by the odd, non-sensical comments on the new website and overall bizarre nature of the whole episode. Happily it seems likely that there will now (at last) be actively developed forks of TrueCrypt so there is a future for TC users on Windows and other platforms. Note that there is also DiskCryptor for open source full disk encryption on Windows. See http://diskcryptor.com. I've not tested it but it does seem to work, although it suffers from the same drawbacks that TC does (e.g. lack of GPT support). -- Mark Rousell PGP public key: http://www.signal100.com/markr/pgp Key ID: C9C5C162 _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
