CipherShed: A replacement for TrueCrypt
http://www.net-security.org/secworld.php?id=17392
While the Open Crypt Audit Project, headed by cryptographer Matthew
Green and Kenneth White, Principal Scientist at Social & Scientific
Systems, has been considering whether to take over the development of
TrueCrypt and is working on the second phase of the audit
process...one of TrueCrypt's developers has expressed his disapproval
of a project that would fork the software.
...
But, as the need for a secure alternative to TrueCrypt is great, there
have been attempts to fork the software. ... The developers, who in
this case are publicly known, have renamed the fork into CipherShed.
...
They are now auditing the TrueCrypt code for security issues and are
cleaning up the code, and according to project initiator Jos
Doekbrijder, an alpha release of CipherShed will be made available for
download soon.
