Initially there were suspicions that the TrueCrypt webpage could have been defaced, or that a rogue member of the TrueCrypt team could have mischievously updated the site with the abrupt message, or that TrueCrypt had been forced into making the sudden move after undue pressure from the authorities ( à la Lavabit).īut as more time goes on, there is a growing consensus that TrueCrypt’s anonymous developers might have genuinely decided to close the project – albeit in a somewhat bizarre fashion. The announcement has caught many people on the hop – the software is widely used by security-savvy users to encrypt their sensitive files and entire hard drives, and only last month TrueCrypt underwent the first phase of an independent security audit, which “found no evidence of backdoors or intentional flaws”. You should download TrueCrypt only if you are migrating data encrypted by TrueCrypt. You should migrate any data encrypted by TrueCrypt to encrypted disks or virtual disk images supported on your platform. Such integrated support is also available on other platforms (click here for more information). Windows 8/7/Vista and later offer integrated support for encrypted disks and virtual disk images. The development of TrueCrypt was ended in 5/2014 after Microsoft terminated support of Windows XP. This page exists only to help migrate existing data encrypted by TrueCrypt.
