I'm doing some research for my WiP by retaking the Coursera Cryptography course. I think it hasn't been updated in the 10 or so years since I last did it.

The lecturer actually references TrueCrypt as an example of disk encryption. TrueCrypt was abandoned in 2014 for reasons unknown. It's considered unsafe.

Latest piece of guidance from the NSA and friends on securing the software supply chain has dropped.

This edition is on OSS and SBOMs.

kkarhan,

@ravirockks Because code releases for #FLOSS are pointless if one can't verify the released code is actually what is being released as #binary.

Something #TrueCrypt was rightfully criticized for back in it's days.

In #ITsec, noone trusts anyone and thus being able to let everyone see and reproduce code as well as #audit it is vital to security.

Same with #documentation on how to build something from source: It's vital to be able to do so for longterm-maintainability.

Mal eine Frage an alle die sich mit #verschlusselung auskennen. Gibt es einen relevanten Unterschied zwischen #veracrypt und #truecrypt ?
