After 11 months of development, the release of VeraCrypt 1.26.14, a fork of the defunct TrueCrypt disk encryption system, has been published. VeraCrypt is noteworthy for replacing the algorithm used in TrueCrypt, RIPEMD-160, with SHA-512 and SHA-256, increasing the number of hashing iterations, simplifying the build process for Linux and macOS, and addressing issues identified during the audit of TrueCrypt's source code. The code developed by VeraCrypt is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license, while borrowings from TrueCrypt continue to be provided under the TrueCrypt License 3.0. Ready builds are created for Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, and macOS.
Yeni versiyadakı dəyişikliklər arasında:
- In the Linux version, the graphical interface has been adapted for environments that only support the Wayland protocol.
- Linux now allows building with a cryptographic backend based on the wolfCrypt engine from the wolfSSL project.
- The installer for Linux has enhanced protection through the inclusion of the ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) mode when built with older GCC versions.
- For platforms other than Windows, codebase compatibility with the wxWidgets 3.3 framework has been ensured, and an interface language selection feature has been implemented.
- Error messages during mounting have been expanded to reflect information on the removal of support for old algorithms and TrueCrypt.
- macOS builds now include support for using FUSE-T as an alternative to MacFUSE.
- FreeBSD platform builds now support automatic detection and mounting of ext2/3/4, exFAT, and NTFS file systems.
- Detection of encrypted partitions vulnerable to key master issues using the XTS algorithm has been provided, caused by the generation of identical primary and secondary keys under certain circumstances.
