TrueCrypt version 7.2, which can only be used to decrypt data, was released at the same time as the announcement about the end of the project, and all previous versions that included encryption functionality were removed from the project's repository. The authors of TrueCrypt, whose identities remain unknown, ended the project on May 28 with a sudden message warning users that "using TrueCrypt is not secure as it may contain unfixed security issues." The project's home page advised users to switch to encryption technologies integrated directly into modern operating systems like BitLocker Drive Encryption in recent versions of Windows or FileVault in Mac OS X.
We use TrueCrypt software for encryption."
For export jobs, we will always encrypt the data being exported onto the device. For import jobs, we erase devices after job completion.
TrueCrypt remains the only option for securely importing and exporting data to and from the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) two weeks after the popular encryption software was abruptly discontinued by its creators, supposedly for security reasons.Īccording to Amazon Web Services (AWS) online documentation, "TrueCrypt is the only device encryption supported by AWS Import/Export." On a separate page about AWS security, Amazon says that: "AWS only ships devices out of AWS facilities if the device is completely erased or the device only contains data encrypted by AWS.
