VeraCrypt is the open source TrueCrypt successor – via Ashley Wilson – Google+

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/02/16

Wow, finally a TrueCrypt successor. And it is open source too!

VeraCrypt is the successor of the venerable TrueCrypt file encryption software, which was abandoned by its developers a while ago. VeryCrypt is compatible with TrueCrypt containers, and is open-source. (TrueCrypt was not). The resulting product fixes all known vulnerabilities that TrueCrypt had, and strengthened the security.

Veracrypt is now at these locations:
