Changes
'''Trainer's notes: '''Make sure to explain the difference between the software and the volume file - you need one to access the other with. Emphasise that when dismounted, the file can easily be deleted.
'''Editorial note: '''In May of 2014 the [http://truecrypt.sourceforge.net/ TrueCrypt website ] announced the project was ceasing development following the discovered discovery of a serious security vulnerability in the code. Users were recommended to find an alternative solution. However since that time, an [https://opencryptoaudit.org/ independent, open source project ] to audit the software has been undertaken [https://opencryptoaudit.org/.] and the subsequent review of this audit [https://wiki.ciphershed.org/Auditsubsequent review] of this audit concludes:
"The remaining issues are less severe, but still important enough to at least do the "short term fix" in Phase 1. They are issues like integer overflows and errors in the kernel driver checking file permissions and names. They are real security holes, but assuming there is only one user on the machine and no malware to exploit the holes (big IF), then they should not cause problems.
After reading this audit, we would recommend that TrueCrypt 7.1a remains safe for use"
