Replacing Truecrypt with Diskcryptor?
Originally created by Tails on #5727 (Redmine)
Diskcryptor seems to be an efficient open-source alternative to truecrypt. http://www.diskcryptor.net/wiki/Main_Page/en
I haven’t tested it and my crypt knowledge is very low, but i think it’s worth a lookout…
Thanks for suggesting it. Next time, please at least make sure the suggested software can possibly run on GNU/Linux, instead of just on Windows like that one.
Another alternative might be RealCrypt, Fedora has also banned Truecrypt from its distribution due to the licensing and has forked it to RealCrypt.
Thanks for bringing RealCrypt under our radar. As far as I can figure out, RealCrypt is not shipped by Fedora and is only available from the RPM Fusion Nonfree repository. One should rather say that one Fedora maintainer forked TrueCrypt and ships 3rd-party RPMs outside of Fedora. I’ve nevertheless mentioned it on [[the existing TODO page|todo/provide a migration path from truecrypt]], and am now closing this duplicated one.
Tails is based on Debian so it probably can’t be done, I don’t know, just saying because you never know.
Asking for new worthwhile software to be included into Debian is possible.
