If I recall correctly... Truecrypt was open source too 
Anyways a couple of people I know recommend veracrypt too.

Yes, and...?
Are you suggesting it had a backdoor?
TrueCrypt went through an independent audit, and its results were widely reported. While a few fairly minor bugs were found, nobody's made a claim it had any sort of backdoor.

Not, but after knowing that one of the main developers went to work for the government and the message on the official website when all happened ("WARNING: Using TrueCrypt is not secure as it may contain unfixed security issues")
Let me say like that, with enough information and enough power computing... you don't really need a backdoor. You can crack it directly.

It's no secret that researchers working on encryption regularly get spooked by, well, the spooks when they're doing a little too well. There was a well-documented case a few years ago about the FBI getting frustrated by their failure to access some TrueCrypt-encrypted documents. Of course, that could very well be "what they want you to believe".

And enough time, like until the Sun goes supernova. But that's true of any encryption software, not just TrueCrypt.

The emphasis was in "enough information". Some insider knowledge, a not so good random generation and the time can reduce drastically.
But yes... if everything about the quantum computers is true... it doesn't matter anymore. In the moment the first one is operative, all current security will be obsolete.

If you're on Windows, you could roll your own with .Net and WPF in less than an hour. Use your own passphrase to create the AES encryption key, the files will be impossible or too expensive to decrypt even for "agencies" with nearly bottomless resources.

You know, I happen to be bored silly with my current work (that will change to sheer terror as soon as I post this comment), I'm going to look into that. Sounds interesting.

Let me know how it goes. If you need any help, just let me know.

Oh, I am . Now the youngest is 15, knows it all, and I'm a idiot. The oldest is 36 (gasp) and I am much wiser in his eyes. Of course, he has two little yard-apes of his own now.

Good luck! I'll be keeping a couple of fingers crossed for her. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
The "good bit" about mastectomy is the reconstruction.
A friend of mine had one removed, and a few years later when she was pronounced "well and truly clean" she was offered reconstruction, with a "matching job" to tighten up the "spare" that time had treated less than kindly, so they both looked as normal as possible. That cheered her up immensely!

I hope the surgery goes well for your wife, and that you'll soon be able to put this !@#$ disease behind you.
