New port: security/truecrypt Currently, only the CLI version is offered via the port. Free open-source disk encryption software for Windows 7/Vista/XP, Mac OS X, and Linux Main Features: * Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk. * Encrypts an entire partition or storage device such as USB flash drive or hard drive. * Encrypts a partition or drive where Windows is installed (pre-boot authentication). * Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent. * Parallelization and pipelining allow data to be read and written as fast as if the drive was not encrypted. * Encryption can be hardware-accelerated on modern processors. * Provides plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password: Hidden volume (steganography) and hidden operating system. More information about the features of TrueCrypt may be found in the documentation. Fix: Patch attached with submission follows:
pkg-message contains a typo: 'considere' should be 'considered' pkg-message should also note that instability issues seem to surface when working with files larger than a few megs. As a side note, it is hoped that the creation of this port will help developers improve some of the instability issues that truecrypt.org reports with FreeBSD's FUSE implementation by providing an application to work with.
The limited testing that I've done has revealed that reading from a mounted volume works quite well. The stability issues seem to surface whenever writing larger files.
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->wxs I'll take it.
Updated shar to address issues in the original submission.
State Changed From-To: open->closed New port added. Thanks!
