Truecrypt no longer supported?
According to it's URL clients are advised to use BitLocker.
http://truecrypt.sourceforge.net/ To permanently dismount all my Truecrypted drives, I tried the method suggested by Truecrypt via the ''System/Permanently decrypt partition/drive'' but this does not work!! Accordingly I had to decrypt with Truecrypt. Transfer everything over to temp storage. Format the truecrypted drive. BitLocker that drive. Transfer everything back! It's taken one whole week. I have survived to tell thee! Peter |

Which part of the process took the most time, and how much data were you dealing with? Most were 60GB USB3 thumb drives, and each took about 2Hr to BitLocker a formatted drive. Transferring data to & from took about 1.5hr each. A USB3 3TB HDD took about 5hr to transfer across 1TB jpg & mov files to a holding HDD, then the newly-formatted 3TB took overnight to BitLocker (very slow), and then about 5hr to transfer back the files from the holding HDD. I processed 1 drive per day so as not to becomes confused. The BitLocker system works well though. |

This article might be of interest to you. https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2...sk-encryption/ Thanks, all very interesting. The security doubts may not apply to me because vast resources are required to crack codes. Anyway, I keep the most of the encrypted drives in a remote location far away from the computer. Peter |
