Hi, Why was TrueCrypt removed in the first place? It is useful and also indispensable for me, since I carry most of my important documents in a TrueCrypt encrypted container. Also, I always attach files to email (whenever sensitive files) in encrypted containers. I use PGP encryption sometimes, but I find TrueCrypt stronger and easier to use. So, why was it removed? Does it have a security flaw or something like this? Was it incompatible with Tails in any way? I think, if it is not a security flaw and if it is compatible with Tails it should be put back into tails. - -- PGP Public key: http://www.sky-ip.org/s...@sky-ip.org.asc ICQ #: 556561918 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSUAOrAAoJEIN/pSyBJlsRupAH/R22uA+DeIa1cUGzGdy7xx+I rXX/MgOPW00brdg3/fG9eAioPunRO78U/yxENxg4o7xiaC9jG43yjLiHIYPeQqgt uRmeL5EfPe4XRPLIXOyG5smWHQk5W6G3mpDJZlyN27mBK7FF4Sf3UkTrS5aVPzLE D8IkeDl4i1M0Zk17rYDWW1IGGgDs2GyTx7LelG+GbBuA12pe8lg4DyeOwKLQHb59 VzxInR8JQev47XUoZtnJEf48FPbeE6wDd+ilBr9R06+4W2I7pujyiC7sEasWFD/P NlitAqyti+FHHzZMmO48+bwdn3RuoiWgD1UhtnhiF6ChT21nyn/Cr6XQ9h3wFm4= =cLh4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ tails-dev mailing list tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev
