If you toss out the GUI stuff and the boilerplate encryption algorithms, the amount of important code in TrueCrypt is fairly small. It has, naturally enough, been subjected to attempts to break it: http://www.zdnet.co.uk/news/security-management/2008/07/17/s... Writing a sentence like "Some folks claim it has a backdoor" is painfully dishonest, manipulative, and scummy. |

First of all, even if you use "boilerplate" encryption algorithms, crypto is ridiculously easy to get wrong, especially in a very demanding setting of disk encryption. Second, TrueCrypt's ability to present its volumes as virtual drives/mountable images is no small feat (both in Linux and NT).
