Veracrypt is a Truecrypt alternative if you’re looking for one

Last Updated on July 14, 2017 by Dave Farquhar

I’ve written about Truecrypt before. If you need cross-platform full-disk crypto, here’s an alternative I found recently. Veracrypt is based on Truecrypt, but since you can’t fork it without a name change, it has a different name.

I haven’t messed with it yet myself–yet–but if you need this, you probably already know it. And, for the record, I don’t believe there was any conspiracy against Truecrypt.

If you found this post informative or helpful, please share it!

    Hadn’t seen it yet (the “project” to find a replacement still has some time left on it, and waiting till the last minute seems to be how I have always worked..), but will certainly give it consideration.
