Good points, though the main reason for using something like TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt is portability across operating systems. Unless I am missing something, it's well-nigh impossible to access a Bitlocker volume from GNU/Linux or *BSD, etc. -- Shawn K. Quinn

I suspect Tomas' original concern was regarding lack of ongoing support; as we've all seen, things are moving at a fast peace in security, which might open it open to vulnerabilities down the line. I welcome all, and any alternatives, or forks. On Mon, Nov 23, 2015 at 1:04 PM, rysiek wrote:

+1 on this.

By the way, anybody has news on the pacthes that were to allow setting up a "KILL IT NOW" password for LUKS (i.e. a special password that would permanently cripple the container when provided)?
