Greetings. I'm a happy long-time user of TrueCrypt, and was as dismayed as anyone else to see the news. I'm considering starting a full disk image encryption alternative to TrueCrypt that will target OS X (maybe others too, but right now OS X is my priority). Asking here for interest in such an endeavor. My system still uses TrueCrypt 7.1a and I managed to rescue the binaries, but I suspect they may break Real Soon Now and, with nobody to maintain the code... well, OS X needs an alternative. And no, Apple's partition encryption isn't an option since it's suspect of having back doors. My intention is to release the code under an open source license (GPLv2 or Apache). Please let me know your thoughts. Working now on understanding how Fuse might play in this setup, or whether to write a low-level driver altogether and mount it via the kernel w/o Fuse. Cheers! pr3d -- _______________________________________________ Sent through the Full Disclosure mailing list http://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/fulldisclosure Web Archives & RSS: http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/
