Comment on How I compiled TrueCrypt 7.1a for Win32 and matched the official binariesparent

Comments

GPG doesn't do disk encryption (full or any), and LUKS is linux-only. That's what keeps people from "just migrating away"...

It doesn't matter what you or I personally prefer, if you want what at least seems to be trustworthy and secure[1], cross-platform cryptography, Truecrypt is what you want.

[1]: Obviously, that is the part that is slowly being evaluated and tested. We'll see what'll happen.

What's the point of implementing cryptography on a closed-source OS? We'll audit TrueCrypt and then have people say "there can still be backdoors in Windows or Mac OS." When it comes to security and cryptography, Linux (and similar) are the only things that matter.
