Truecrypt Folder Encryption - Why did it end?


Personally and professionally I have used this free and reliable encryption software to store secure data in San Diego. In May of 2014, for reasons unknown as now, the site is dead and the new version only DE-crypts but does not EN-crypt. True, I tested it.


I am glad that I have archived what I'm now calling the last working version of Truecrypt. Version 7.1a was the last fully functional version as far as I can tell. I have read a few articles about the demise of the software and no one seems to have a concrete answer.

Here are my tests of versions 7.1a vs. 7.2.


UPDATE: Glad to see there is hope!  http://truecrypt.ch/
