This has nothing to do with XP," said Bruce Schneier, noted cryptographer and one of those involved in the TrueCrypt audit. Like many others posting on blogs and on Twitter , Schneier said he has Jun 22, 2019 · TrueCrypt alternative #1: VeraCrypt. VeraCrypt is a fork (copy) of the TrueCrypt source code that’s been taken over and continues to be maintained.
