In both cases the author is > unlikely to sue. Good points. It should also be noted that the 'TrueCrypt License Version 3.0' (under which TC 7.1a is licensed) includes three sublicences from included software written by identifiable entities[1] but on a brief reading none of them seem to prevent TC from being forked. All the same, merging the capabilities of FreeOTFE would be a nice-to-have for a TrueCrypt fork.

I think it is reasonbably safe to simply ignore the TC license and just fork it. Distribute the forked version without any license whatsoever. Given the secretive nature of the author, he should, for a start, first have to prove he is the author if he wanted to sue you. 2 possible reasons for this action seem likely to me: personal reasons (he's tired of the project) or a gag order. In both cases the author is unlikely to sue. -- ir. J.C.A.

Whoops, I apologise.

Last time I looked FreeOTFE had not been updated since 2010, so it's even older than the latest working version of TrueCrypt. Unlike TrueCrypt, its device driver is not signed so it won't run on Windows Vista x64 or later without the OS being put in test signing mode. All that said, Free OTFE might be a good basis on which to continue development if the licence terms of TrueCrypt 7.1a turn out to be too restrictive to allow a successful fork. > Sigh, I'm glad I don't > need a bullet-proof disk encryption tool right now, so I can wait > until things become more clear. As far as anyone can tell at the moment, TrueCrypt 7.1a is safe and reliable. The messages on the TrueCrypt Sourceforge website simply should not be taken seriously in my opinion. They are so bizarre as to be of no sense, whereas TrueCrypt has a long history of effective use. -- 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

I get error 404 on that link (not sure why I'm being forwarded to www.diskcryptor.com ). FreeOTFE seems to be available for windows, and it is compatible with LUKS and dm-crypt, but it is only available at sourceforge, since the website seems to only show advertisement.

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
