I was checking out security software and came across this open source software.
I'm a hardcore supporter of opensource on the count of there having nothing to lose when facing authority(MS,LEO,etc).
I was wondering if anyone used this and what there opinion of it is?
I'm just tired of burning stuff on cd and securing the cd.
It's good.
Typically you use TrueCrypt to make an encrypted block of data that resides in a file of your choosing. All your data is relatively safe, but anyone with write access to your drive would be able to cause you trouble by messing with the file itself (moving/deleting) but they'd have to know exactly what to look for (TrueCrypt files are unidentifiable by any signature or header information). You can even have encrypted volumes inside one another that are undetectable (one file on your hard drive could have 10 layers of separate encryptions and no one would ever know about the interior volumes). Even if someone gets your password for the first layer, they'd have no clue your truly sensitive hidden data was 9 passwords away.. Etc..
Thank you,
I'm using it now for certain files. I was just checking with people to see that there were no major flaws in this program. Thanks for the response. The ability to take the program off your pc and have it on a disk(along with the proper key files) is amazing.
