Curious to see this take from you! I followed TrueCrypt for years, but always thought it was very strange that they were anonymous, and then the mysterious shutdown happened, and I have no idea what to make of VeraCrypt. It's been in my "possibly good, but too many weird flags around the whole project" bucket.

Anything in particular that makes you wary? I'm aware of the 2016 and 2020 audits (https://ostif.org/the-veracrypt-audit-results/ is the 2016 one, I believe), but those seemed to suggest things were getting better over time. Curious what other signals to look for.

> not with even with your computer would I run VeraCrypt

This has got to be the most surprising encryption-related comment I've ever read from you. Please tell us what you're thinking about VeraCrypt. What would you say about TrueCrypt v7.1a, the last known good release?

Ever since the TrueCrypt fiasco years ago, I have no trust in that brand.

What? Why?
