Installing TrueCrypt on Mavericks and Yosemite. The next issue is getting it to install on versions of OS X that came out after TrueCrypt 7.1a was released in February 2012. Here’s the solution to that. Mount the DMG file, and extract the TrueCrypt 7.1a.mpkg file from the DMG (just drag it to your Desktop or Downloads folder). TrueCrypt - that I still use for disk encryption - happens to be using osxfuse and my attempts to make osxfuse cohabit with fuse4x and TrueCrypt to cohabit with fuse4x failed. Here is the working solution: install osxfuse via the.dmg install - I did install the MacFUSE compatibility layer for good measure; install TrueCrypt (.dmg install).

Description

VeraCrypt is a free, open source disk encryption program based on the popular TrueCrypt. Since TrueCrypt project was discontinued, VeraCrypt is now regarded as the successor of it.

We offer the product as is, and do not claim any rights to the name TrueCrypt or TrueCrypt.org – this is not a fork but the distribution of the product under Section II of the TrueCrypt license. TrueCrypt: TrueCrypt Setup 7.1a.exe TrueCrypt 7.1a Mac OS X.dmg truecrypt-7.1a-linux-x64.tar.gz truecrypt-7.1a-linux-x86.tar.gz truecrypt-7.1a-linux-console-x64. BadAss.Sx gives you the solution to run TrueCrypt for Yosemite. This will startup the installation file without a check if it will fit on Yosemite. There is also a way to “compile” your own DMG for your Yosemite. Hdiutil convert ‘TrueCrypt 7.2 Mac OS X.dmg’ -format UDRW -o ‘TrueCrypt 7.2 Mac OS X writable.dmg’ hdiutil attach ‘TrueCrypt.

Security and vulnerabilities discovered in TrueCrypt were fixed, new enhanced security was added which makes the software immune to brute-force attacks. Furthermore, according to the official page, the software is able to convert TrueCrypt containers and 'non-system partitions to VeraCrypt format' which again, it is great for those who relied on TrueCrypt for over a decade. Currently, VeraCrypt project development is very active and although there are lot of people that continue to use an older version of TrueCrypt, we recommend them (for obvious security reasons) to try and switch to VeraCrypt.

Important: All VeraCrypt released files are PGP signed with a key available here. OS X users will need OSXFUSE 2.5 or later, which can be downloaded from OSXFUSE page here.

Truecrypt Demise

For basic encryption of user data OR for the hiding and protection of data you not only want to encrypt but actually wish to hide completely (i.e. make it impossible for anyone to actually know there's encrypted data on your Mac) TrueCrypt is the way to go.It now supports 64 bit on OS X Lion.You can create hidden volumes, which makes it possible to completely hide encrypted data. This allows for plausible deniability. Simply put, a Govt agency or some other threaten foe will not be able to force (through law or malice) you to reveal the password to your encrypted data, because there will be no way to prove this encrypted data exists. It's unlikely most people need such plausible deniability, but for those who do TrueCrypt makes it easy.You can encrypt any volume, which includes external drives and USB sticks. A wise move if you have ANY data on your stick or drive you'd rather no one but you could access.TrueCrypt is open source software, which means all the application code is publicly viewable. This eliminates any chance of it having 'back-doors'. As far as I know, Apple can not make the same claim for Filevault/Firevault2, because it uses proprietary code. Again, most people are not likely to need this added level of security (i.e. the US govt. not being able to back-door their way into your data, with Apple's 'help'), but for some this may provide added peace-of-mind.
