Truecrypt would definitely be better if still reliable, though . Last I had heard was when everyone was still speculating they had been forced to build in a back door, and if one had existed it would probably have been thoroughly exploited by now. But it sounds like it was all just an "If I can't have her, nobody will!" gesture by the developers.
Gonna reread the user manual this morning...darn, I'd forgotten that nasty learning curve. Once it's set up it shouldn't be too bad though. |
Fair enough.
The good news is that it does indeed seem to be the case that the developer bailed and wanted his software to die with him.
