		massysett on May 31, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: TrueCrypt security audit presses on, despite devel... Many (most?) TrueCrypt users obtained the software as a prebuilt Windows binary; they did not compile it from source. So even if the source code is clean, maybe the binaries were not. Is there any way to audit this and if so is that being done?

It has been done [1]. Rule #2 of the audit project will solve the problem for future builds [2].
