TrueCrypt Audit Cryptanalysis Finds No Backdoors

The results are in from the cryptanalysis phase of the TrueCrypt audit, and they show—nothing. Well, maybe not “nothing,” but certainly no signs of a deliberate backdoor from the NSA or any government entity, fears of which date back to the autumn of 2013, post-Snowden, and ignited talk to have t...
