Is there a good reason for avoiding Truecrypt @mtayloratmontsaye ? Could save yourself a whole lot of hassle!

 

Its unsupported.. doesn't work on windows 7 enterprise.

 

I could spend a couple minutes listing more but thats enough in my books!

It seems to be working on the machines I installed it on.

If anyone wishes to read the security analysis of Truecrypt (and make their own mind up about whether to use it or not) then this is an interesting read: https://opencryptoaudit.org/reports/iSec_Final_Open_Crypto_Audit_Project_TrueCrypt_Security_Assessment.pdf

Be interesting to see similar reports for other solutions. Particularly ones with simple summaries!

Ok, it's no longer being developed, but I'm not convinced that it makes much difference. If it's badly broken, we need to update or replace the fde currently in use. That's the case regardless of support status - in the case of Tc we just replace with another product. Ideally we'll all move on to something else but I don't think we need to panic.

No, if you are using Windows 8 Pro and have no TPM you can use Bitlocker with just a password, no TPM required.

 

I have read this. But as I mentioned we are using Windows 7 Pro.

 

It would cause chaos if we moved to windows 8!

 

Holding out for 9/10 whatever it is next.

Sure but that was a reply to some else who does have Win 8 who was asking about it.

 

Not sure if it would cause that much chaos, gone down ok here, but that's a different debate
