Speaking of full disk encryption, TrueCrypt has been forked... -Tom CipherShed: A replacement for TrueCrypt http://www.net-security.org/secworld.php?id=17392
While the Open Crypt Audit Project, headed by cryptographer Matthew Green and Kenneth White, Principal Scientist at Social & Scientific Systems, has been considering whether to take over the development of TrueCrypt and is working on the second phase of the audit process...one of TrueCrypt's developers has expressed his disapproval of a project that would fork the software. ... But, as the need for a secure alternative to TrueCrypt is great, there have been attempts to fork the software. ... The developers, who in this case are publicly known, have renamed the fork into CipherShed. ... They are now auditing the TrueCrypt code for security issues and are cleaning up the code, and according to project initiator Jos Doekbrijder, an alpha release of CipherShed will be made available for download soon. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
