I don't use Microsoft products generally but not with even with your computer would I run VeraCrypt.
Anything in particular that makes you wary? I'm aware of the 2016 and 2020 audits (https://ostif.org/the-veracrypt-audit-results/ is the 2016 one, I believe), but those seemed to suggest things were getting better over time. Curious what other signals to look for.
This has got to be the most surprising encryption-related comment I've ever read from you. Please tell us what you're thinking about VeraCrypt. What would you say about TrueCrypt v7.1a, the last known good release?
They can't use age or any other "right answer" tools. I'm talking about people who don't know their own username, people who don't know that their Windows password is the one they use to log into Windows. "Is that for my email?" Just getting them to use a password manager is like arm wrestling an aligator. If VeraCrypt isn't the best option for them, then what is?
Generally I’d say this is what Sharepoint or Box or a more workflow-specific platform is for. You generally don’t want sensitive data living on individual people’s workstations in an enterprise context, you want it somewhere that you can enforce security settings.
If I trust them to provide my FDE software, I certainly trust them when they say I shouldn’t use it.
An independent audit of the last version of TrueCrypt was published about a year after the discontinuation. It did not find any significant security issues or backdoors.
I wouldnt of used the citation needed here meme personally, but i think its clear the poster is just asking why it should not be trusted.
Sorry, I just hate how overused that meme is as it's rarely helpful and doesn't add to the conversation.
