[Free Downloads Center Blog] Free Downloads Center Blog » Blog Archive » TrueCrypt: TrueCrypt is superior to Windows XP’s built-in hard drive encryption because it’s open-source, portable across multiple Operating Systems and comes with plausible deniability. XP’s encryption doesn’t have plausible deniability because it uses certificates that anyone can view from the windows directory–which means they can know that you’re hiding something.

[Schneier on Security] Schneier on Security: Deniable File System: With a feature like that, or something similar activated by a mechanical switch, you might be able to add a security layer, an executable front-end that checksums (and/or encrypts) everything else on the drive.

[Schneier on Security] Schneier on Security: TrueCrypt: I had a look at TrueCrypt a while ago, but the one thing I found to be a problem is that the binaries available under Linux are built against the originally shipped kernel for the distribution in question, and not the latest version that the distribution provide (which contains security updates). So effectively your data might be compromised by other attacks on the system itself which have since been patched, but you are unable to install because installing them breaks the packaged version from TrueCrypt.
