The open source encryption software is now available for the first time on OS X* (Tiger and Leopard, Intel or PPC). It also delivers a GUI for the Linux version. TrueCrypt is used for on-the-fly encryption.
We are pleased to announce that TrueCrypt 5.0 has been released. Among the new features are the ability to encrypt a system partition or entire system drive (i.e. a drive where Windows is installed) with pre-boot authentication, pipelined operations increasing read/write speed by up to 100%, Mac OS X version, graphical interface for the Linux version, XTS mode, SHA-512, and more.
