Sadly the world has been fake news for much longer than you know. It was very suspicious and people kept sharing the previous version. Everyone assumed it was a compromised version with an NSA backdoor. Then after they were forced to stop they released one more version with no notes or anything. Truecrypt was forced to stop development all of a sudden under unique circumstances and censored. None of it would be useful to somebody wanting current personal or financial information.īuzzsaw wrote:I hate it when people write sensationalist things like this and then never reply when asked what their source is. It's mainly old family history and pictures and miscellaneous archives. None of what I am encrypting is "Super-Secret". Plus, partitions are relatively easy to image for backup purposes. I prefer a partition or "container" over encrypting files since I would rather have all of this type of data in one place (on the HDD) rather than spread all over who-knows-where. But, I will give up on it very soon if it continues to be stubborn. The principal reason I'm still pursuing VeraCrypt at all is that I've used TrueCrypt for a number of years and have a little experience which I hate to let go to waste.
If that doesn't work I will abandon VeraCrypt for some other solution (can't beat a dead horse forever). I'm going to try installing from the ppa also mentioned in the replies above. When I discovered that the app did not work I uninstalled and reinstalled it several times with no luck. Post the message in the terminal back in this threat
#VERACRYPT VS TRUECRYPT CRACKED#
I am not aware of single case where TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt encryption has been cracked ( Wikipedia), with exception to cases where passwords were easily guessable or when password were obtained via interrogation.Koning Mint wrote:open a terminal and press. Veracrypt has fixed most if not all the security vulnerabilities that were found in audit of Truecrypt 7.1a ( Security Assessment of VeraCrypt: fixes and evolutions from TrueCrypt) and it has gone through its own audit as well ( The VeraCrypt Audit Results – Open Source Technology Improvement Fund)Įven TrueCrypt, with its vulnerabilities, have fared quite well, so I am confident that VeraCrypt will provide even better protection. This is acceptable to the legitimate owner but it makes it much harder for an attacker to gain access to the encrypted data. This enhanced security adds some delay only to the opening of encrypted partitions without any performance impact to the application use phase. And for standard containers and other partitions, TrueCrypt uses at most 2000 iterations but VeraCrypt uses 655331 for RIPEMD100 iterations for SHA-2 and Whirlpool. It also solves many vulnerabilities and security issues found in TrueCrypt.Īs an example, when the system partition is encrypted, TrueCrypt uses PBKDF2-RIPEMD160 with 1000 iterations whereas in VeraCrypt we use 327661. VeraCrypt adds enhanced security to the algorithms used for system and partitions encryption making it immune to new developments in brute-force attacks. What's the difference between TrueCrypt and VeraCrypt? Veracrypt should be more secure than Truecrypt because it has addressed existing security vulnerabilities from Truecrypt, and it has added new security features as well.
