Well, considering the fact that Linux comes with its own bunch of |
| 8 |
encrytion possibilities on its own, the demise of TrueCrypt on Linux is |
| 9 |
neglectable. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Some people in Switzerland want to take over development, for further |
| 12 |
information take a look at www.truecrypt.ch. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
And then there's tc-play, a free implementation of TrueCrypt based on |
| 15 |
dm-crypt (https://github.com/bwalex/tc-play), which allows reading and |
| 16 |
creating TrueCrypt volumes on your own. It just lacks a good GUI so far. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Cryptsetup since 1.6 supports reading the TrueCrypt on disk format. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
And zuluCrypt is a frontend to cryptsetup and tcplay, which acts as a |
| 21 |
GUI for those. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
So no loss at all if TrueCrypt would really cease to exist. |
