web.archive.org →TrueCrypt.ch is the gathering place for all up-to-date information. Unfortunately TrueCrypt.org is dead. But, we (the pure-privacy people) will help organize a future. Independent hosting in Switzerland will guarantee no interruption due to legal threats. We are looking for lively interaction with users and a great community concerned about privacy in the digital world. We still offer all the downloads which are no longer available at TrueCrypt.org. Anonymous development on a security relevant Project is no longer an option. The TrueCrypt.ch team will stand with their real name! Two teams, CipherShed and VeraCrypt, are currently leading the TrueCrypt replacement initiative. And that is very good news. We work with both teams for the better of the community. The ongoing complete (100%) rewrite of the TrueCrypt code by Ciphershed is a massive undertaking and will take its time. In the mean time we put together the whole TrueCrypt Source into a github repo: feel free to clone. If you like to help financially, we now accept donations through the pure-privacy association.

TrueCrypt（トゥルークリプト）とは、暗号化された仮想ディスクを作成・利用するソフトウエア。仮想ディスクはファイルとして作成するだけでなく、パーティション自体も対象にできる。ユーザは、作成された仮想ディスクをUSBメモリなどと同じ感覚でリムーバブルディスクドライブとしてマウントすることで利用できる。また、Windows版TrueCryptではシステムドライブ自体も暗号化することが出来る。 このソフトウエアは、TrueCrypt Licenseの下で無償で利用できる。 現在は開発者から「安全ではない」とのメッセージが出されており、使用を中止しBitLockerなど他のソリューションにのりかえることが推奨されている。 代替としてはTrueCryptのソースコードに基づいたVeraCryptやCipherShedなどフリーウェアのプロジェクトがある。
