TrueCrypt for Mac - Released
A staple on the Windows OS for quite a while, TrueCrypt has finally been ported to OS X. While it doesn’t have a lot of polish yet, it does indeed seem to work like the Windows version does. TrueCrypt has the ability to create an encrypted volume — which can be stored as random data on your disk — essentially hiding the fact that you have any hidden data. If nobody knows you have something encrypted, how would they know to even ask for your passphrase? As a note, TrueCrypt on Windows has been used by folks doing various illegal things over the years, and using it to hide data; real Dateline kinds of stuff. It’s good at what it does, but having it around could make someone think you have something to hide.
