VeraCrypt to stop developing Windows application due to Microsoft revoking their driver signing certificate:

Sorry to hear about this turn of events, but it was pretty much to be expected given the way the world is turning, and Microsoft being Microsoft.

Switch to Linux if you can, and come give Shufflecake a try ;)

We are sorry to hear this turn of events and we wish VeraCrypt team all the best. For us, Windows was never an option.

National government does NOT subsidise, and often can't even find out how much subsidy has been spent! This isn't just #plausibleDeniability. It also shows a much more decentralised version of governance and funding than the term #autocracy is usually taken to imply. #china #geoeconomics #AIEthics

@SusiArnott I see your point Susi, but this lose the-judicial-review option has already been floated by journalists with vastly more reach than me. And even if well publicised, it comes with excellent #PlausibleDeniability.

Independent decision by the #IndependentJudiciary, old chap. Etc

Ernsthaft? Du willst schriftlich festhalten, dass du eigentlich nur rätst? Anfängerfehler. Wer schreibt, der bleibt – haftbar.

Mein Business lebt davon, dass niemand mehr weiß, warum wir vor drei Jahren diesen Mist entschieden haben. Das sichert mir die teuren "Rescue-Projekte". Transparenz ruiniert doch nur meine Marge für spätere Change-Requests.

Wirf dem Auditor lieber Spaghetticode und bunte Slides hin. Das reicht völlig.

@shufflecake Elia and I have bee quite under the water recently, but we've been quietly working to this new release - mostly Elia, TBH :)

In addition to the long due test units and dev guide, we worked a lot on FLUSH and FUA requests for block device I/O. We got SCARY performances, very close and at times beyond dm-crypt in fio tests!

I think it is safe to say that performances won't be our priority from now on (at least for the Lite scheme), and we can keep focusing on new features and the roadmap to our Holy Grail: a fully hidden Linux OS!

💥 ❤️ 📣 NEW RELEASE 📣 ❤️ 💥 #Shufflecake v0.5.6 brings a TON of good news! First of all, it's *blazing fast*: we implemented better handling of I/O requests, and now we have performances that in many scenarios *exceed* those of bare dm-crypt/LUKS! We also added a proper test suite and a developer guide, and we fixed a bunch of bugs, in particular restoring full crash consistency for the Lite scheme!

Wie gesagt, #DeltaChat läuft auf solider, dezentraler (Email-)Infratruktur, im Gegensatz zu #SignalDown, die wohl aktuelle irgendwelche Probleme mit Besos AWS haben.

Aber das tun #Briar und #OnionShare auch, nur brauchen sie keine registrierten Email-Adressen, und hinterlassen im Gegensatz zu DeltaChat keine #Datenspuren von Metadaten auf x Mailservern wie z. B. Uhrzeit, Datum, Absender- und Empfängeradresse sowie die Größe der Nachricht.

Und #PlausibleDeniability ist insofern bei DC genauso ein Problem wie bei PGP.

Da kann die Verschlüsselung so "NSA- und quantenfest" sein, wie sie sein will, aber in 10 Jahren vllt. gar nicht mehr ist.
