tl;dr from Matthew Green's blog
Based on this audit, Truecrypt appears to be a relatively well-designed piece of crypto software. The NCC audit found no evidence of deliberate backdoors, or any severe design flaws that will make the software insecure in most instances.
That doesn't mean Truecrypt is perfect. The auditors did find a few glitches and some incautious programming -- leading to a couple of issues that could, in the right circumstances, cause Truecrypt to give less assurance than we'd like it to.
Going to continue using Truecrypt although Veracrypt is promising.
Comments
I wonder if the audit team got a National Security Letter.
I wonder if the original author of truecrypt got a NSL
That is almost certain. Nobody would work on such a software, then say it is insecure and recommend closed source instead. If there were any doubts, now everyone knows bitlocker is backdoored, and where there is a government backdoor, there is a big chance, not only the government knows about it.
Let's see what comes out from the fork at truecrypt.ch. If NSA sues for copyright infringement, we know who shut it down :P
