Introduction
TrueCrypt for Mac OS X - by Dave Adams, University of Utah
Dave discussed the pros and cons of TrueCrypt for Mac OS X and demonstration on its use.
TrueCrypt
Is a free open-source disk encryption software for Windows Vista/XP, Mac OS X, and Linux. It supports on-the-fly-encryption (OTFE) and it can create a 'file-hosted container' or write a partition which consists of an encrypted volume with its own file system, contained within a regular file, which can then be mounted as if it were a real disk. It supports encryption algorithms: AES-256, Serpent, and Twofish. And mode of operation: XTS.
The Mac OS X version uses MacFUSE to provide user-mode mounting of the encrypted disk. The main application window gives you a simple interface for creating and mounting encrypted images.
