Therefore, Truecrypt has been obsoleted.  Please migrate to [VeraCrypt](https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Home.html) which supports 64-bit. VeraCrypt is based on TrueCrypt 7.1a and is currently maintained.\n\nTo install VeraCrypt, the Truecrypt replacement: `brew cask install veracrypt`\n\n## Installation\n\nFirst, make sure you have installed [`homebrew-cask`](http://caskroom.io/) if you haven't yet:\n\n    brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask\n\nThen, run the following in your command-line:\n\n    brew tap trinitronx/homebrew-truecrypt\n\n## Usage\n\n**Note**: For info run:\n\n    brew cask info truecrypt\n\nOnce the tap is installed, you can install `truecrypt`!\n\n    brew cask install truecrypt\n\n## Sponsor\n\nIf you find this project useful and appreciate my work,\nwould you be willing to click one of the buttons below to Sponsor this project and help me continue?\n\n- \u003cnoscript\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://github.com/sponsors/trinitronx\"\u003e:heart: Sponsor\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/noscript\u003e\n- \u003cnoscript\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://liberapay.com/trinitronx/donate\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Donate using Liberapay\" src=\"https://liberapay.com/assets/widgets/donate.svg\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/noscript\u003e\n- \u003cnoscript\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://paypal.me/JamesCuzella\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Donate with PayPal\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/noscript\u003e\n\nEvery little bit is appreciated! Thank you! 🙏\n\n## Testing\n\nTo test Truecrypt's internal encryption/decryption algorithms:\n\n    /Applications/TrueCrypt.app/Contents/MacOS/TrueCrypt --text --test\n\nTo test volume creation:\n\n    /Applications/TrueCrypt.app/Contents/MacOS/TrueCrypt --text --create  --encryption=AES --hash=SHA-512 --filesystem=FAT -k '' --password=test123 --size=500000 --random-source=/dev/urandom --volume-type=normal /tmp/testvolume.tc\n\nTo test mounting the volume:\n\n    /Applications/TrueCrypt.app/Contents/MacOS/TrueCrypt --text -k '' --password=test123 --protect-hidden=no --mount /tmp/testvolume.tc /Volumes/testvolume\n    [ -e /Volumes/testvolume/ ] \u0026\u0026 echo 'PASS' || echo 'FAIL'\n\nTo test dismounting the volume:\n\n    /Applications/TrueCrypt.app/Contents/MacOS/TrueCrypt --text --dismount /tmp/testvolume.tc /Volumes/testvolume\n    rm /tmp/testvolume.tc\n\n## Is Truecrypt still safe to use?\n\n### TLDR;\n\nAs long as you use a good password, and ensure good random seed data... **YES!**\n\n### 3rd Party Audit\n\nSince the original developer's strange disappearing act and unsubstantiated claim that it was unsafe, it has now gone through [an official 3rd party audit][1], and has come away with an overall clean bill of health.\n\nOnly a couple very minor flaws were found as reported on multiple news \u0026 blog sites:\n\n - [ArsTechnica][2]\n - [The Register][3]\n - [Cryptography Engineering Blog][4]\n - [Is TrueCrypt Audited Yet][5]\n - [GRC][6]\n\nAs mentioned the largest potential flaw found was an unlikely special case where the Windows Crypto API _may_ fail and TrueCrypt would not issue a security warning, but overall the other flaws found are minor and the consensus is that it's still safe to use.  Perhaps the best thing that happened to TrueCrypt is that the author abandoned it... for it gave reason for people to take notice \u0026 actually give it an audit.  We now have enough conclusive evidence to reasonably determine it is safe to use to provide sufficient protection for sensitive data.\n\n[1]: https://opencryptoaudit.org/reports/iSec_Final_Open_Crypto_Audit_Project_TrueCrypt_Security_Assessment.pdf\n[2]: http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/04/truecrypt-security-audit-is-good-news-so-why-all-the-glum-faces/\n[3]: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/04/02/truecrypt_security_audit/\n[4]: http://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2015/04/truecrypt-report.html\n[5]: http://istruecryptauditedyet.com/\n[6]: https://www.grc.com/misc/truecrypt/truecrypt.htm\n\n## Credits\n\nCredit for the base formula comes from https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-unofficial/blob/1f3022e6706e8ea45b98630c8d077a27d094075c/Casks/truecrypt.rb\n\n\n\n\n[![Bitdeli Badge](https://d2weczhvl823v0.cloudfront.net/trinitronx/homebrew-truecrypt/trend.png)](https://bitdeli.com/free \"Bitdeli Badge\")\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftrinitronx%2Fhomebrew-truecrypt","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ftrinitronx%2Fhomebrew-truecrypt","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftrinitronx%2Fhomebrew-truecrypt/lists"}
