[Tech ARP] The New TrueCrypt - VeraCrypt Or CipherShed?

Quote : There is a genuine need for TrueCrypt to be further developed, if

only to support newer operating systems and to remove or mitigate the

weaknesses identified by the TrueCrypt Audit. Thus, it was no big surprise

fork of it.

 

In stepped TrueCryptNext (TCNext) - an attempt to kickstart a replacement

for TrueCrypt. Despite considerable skepticism, they announced in September

that their fledging effort, CipherShed, is now closer to alpha release,

pending a security review. This is remarkable progress though, since they

only started coding work mid-June.

 

In the meantime, a French cryptography and IT security company called IDRIX

announced the release of VeraCrypt 1.0e. VeraCrypt is based on TrueCrypt's

source code and looks very similar to TrueCrypt. Take a look...
