CipherShed
Template:Multiple issues {{#invoke:Infobox|infobox}}
CipherShed is under development as a planned source-available disk encryption program for on-the-fly encryption. CipherShed is based on the discontinued source-available program TrueCrypt.
History
CipherShed was started in June 2014 as a response to the end of life announcement for TrueCrypt. As of October 2014 CipherShed source code is hosted at GitHub.[1]
The change of name from TrueCrypt to CipherShed, and substantial rewriting, is due to concerns about copyright that may be retained by the TrueCrypt authors.[2]
CipherShed is still a work in progress; it remains under development at this time in anticipation of a planned future initial release. However, no projected initial release date is available at this time.
Development
According to the CipherShed website, the CipherShed Project is an unincorporated non-profit organization that is managed by an elected Project Management Committee (PMC), among others.
The managing team according to CipherShed's Web site is Bill Cox, Alain Forget, Chris Horrocks, Niklas Lemcke and Jason Pyeron, who are described as "a team with a passion for cryptography, information security, and the Internet as a whole"[3]
CipherShed 1.0 will be a 100% rewrite of the source code and will be released under an OSI approved license (probably either Apache or BSD).
