Not sure if I;m bumping the thread if it's related to the topic, but...

Veracrypt has been named as the next version of truecrypt.

Some of the developers are from Microsoft, and a post was made by truecrypt a while ago saying trucrypt had been broken.

Veracrypt may not be NSA proof, but it will usually suffice to protect my company and business financial files.

there is a pet download file here.

Thanks so much for everyone's help!

(I cannot take credit for making the pet file, it was provided by request from another helpful member.

By whom has this spin-off been named TrueCrypt's successor ?, the authors of TrueCrypt ?.
The Veracrypt wikipedia page , ironically , has no verification.

also veracrypt cant open existing truecrypt containers. TCNext is an option if you need TC compatibility.

Actually it can, since version 1.0f. TC containers can be also converted to VC format.
From other new features - one can create not only FAT/Ext?, but also NTFS formatted containers under Linux.
