Dear mailing-list,
I have found just recently that I'm not aware of actual situation of full HD encryption and container encryption after extinction of TrueCrypt.
Truecrypt is not extinct. Before its developers decided to stop working on it, Truecrypt was considered adequately secure for practical applications. After its developers decided to stop working on it, Truecrypt is considered adequately secure for practical applications. Nothing changed, except that if you don't have a copy of Truecrypt you will have to find one can be verified as authentic via digital signatures made from known good packages. This is not hard, so if you can not do it you should not trust /any/ cryptographic tool until you have learned more about network security. A recent in-depth security audit of Truecrpt found room for improvement but no "show stoppers." A more recent report asserts that Truecrypt is "insecure" on Microsoft operating systems. Examination of that claim reveals that the Microsoft operating systems themselves, not Truecrypt, contain the security flaw in question. Where "security" is a major concern the use of Microsoft products is ruled out, due to the availability of much more secure alternatives; so this particular claim is not relevant. Truecrypt will eventually become obsolete due to changes in the operating systems is can be used with, as its predecessor Scramdisk eventually became obsolete after development stopped. It makes sense for Truecrypt users to start looking at alternative tools now, and plan for a smooth transition away from Truecrypt at their convenience. Other posts in this thread mention several candidates. But the sky has not fallen and there is no particular reason to be in a big hurry to dump Truecrypt right now. :o) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJWT1MGAAoJEDZ0Gg87KR0LfR8QAMDiTsILqfX4uGZXxMFOCW6/ 5wCzQh+y/u+IgPMxdL6FZ9JnSBILkWYTptfyFxZ0O0RMpp4PHrE0pyjZ+qazApWQ wXyI1cVo/0LmyQWaBr2N2K74vjya0lB0Z8Fs9XmNg6jjP/iYBPhV7qJsvLA9e0nw 4LhzKcQs9DCDg30wVaiwN4dC/8afFLMib7x9Bk7qxkA+dQQ/8iFdbwSulY2+3UJ1 baj5G7R1GehCOVCe5Ygkz+zlVw3/+SE/mr1tsUY5rZRHWXNmq7JCAz7LrxeKK6w5 ZJMeme5L6i1DlFKRIyUCuDPGLik7oik2S38spc/pJwgnvcUgvfdvvokci4apNfpK dhyuDN/Y2STMvGxrqnoDmyvXwM88Fj+WrM5xAOJLaOIpz4jaJcjDxE3Owb6J3cK2 6ScG/ON+E6Y6RhCRBXx2CO2DGd9fhs6iHNo/LBc24uY/vzQ7vEhd22c+OWtoLmmm PLnxyZlHkJ9k4HmX6kq00k26m0t4HkD6e1GR2p8+CEQMmSjV77+TaNeHqK8oUxKi 0EPA22fvvYGj0hpidjXigdThQW5no4beTlc1ivkLHMKkr1qDtCIyhKo3Jcjf9nMJ woQ4oh3jHAw4Q9ma8d/YhKvTAQMklQmJzgcSp9B64Oz6/UmQHKUbUCdpQmlcRArO P8xGBmpfMhbMh4+UNL2w =Jl8a -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
