1.1.1.13! root 1: This archive contains TrueCrypt 4.3a setup and documentation. 1.1.1.3 root 2: 3: 1.1.1.10 root 4: If you have never used TrueCrypt before, we recommend that you read the 5: chapter "Beginner's Tutorial" in the TrueCrypt User Guide, which can be 1.1.1.8 root 6: found in the 'Setup Files' folder. 7: 8: 9: 1.1.1.10 root 10: IMPORTANT NOTES -- PLEASE READ 11: ============================== 12: 13: If you are upgrading from an older version of TrueCrypt, it is normally not 14: necessary to uninstall it first. However, if any errors occur during the 15: process of installation, please uninstall TrueCrypt, restart the operating 1.1.1.13! root 16: system, and then try to install the new version of TrueCrypt again. Note that ! 17: when you uninstall TrueCrypt, no TrueCrypt volume is removed or modified. ! 18: To uninstall TrueCrypt on Windows XP, click Start Menu -> Settings -> Control ! 19: Panel -> Add or Remove Programs -> TrueCrypt -> Change/Remove. To uninstall ! 20: TrueCrypt on Windows Vista, click Start Menu -> Control Panel -> ! 21: Programs - Uninstall a program -> TrueCrypt -> Change/Remove. 1.1.1.10 root 22: 23: 24: IMPORTANT NOTE TO USERS WHO USE VOLUMES CREATED BY TRUECRYPT 4.0 OR EARLIER: 25: To prevent an attack reported in November 2005, which affects plausible 26: deniability, we strongly recommend that you move data from your TrueCrypt 27: volume to a new volume created by this version. Description of the attack: 28: If a series of certain plaintext blocks is written to a mounted volume 29: (i.e., if it is correctly encrypted), it is, with a very high probability, 30: possible to distinguish the volume from random data. This affects volumes 31: created by all versions of TrueCrypt prior to 4.1, except volumes encrypted 32: with AES-Blowfish or AES-Blowfish-Serpent. 33: Even if you do not need plausible deniability, we highly recommend you to 34: move your data from your TrueCrypt volume (which is encrypted in CBC mode) 35: to a new volume created by this version (which will be encrypted in LRW 36: mode). LRW mode is more secure than CBC mode. 37: 38: 39: IMPORTANT NOTE TO USERS UPGRADING FROM TRUECRYPT 3.0 OR 3.0A: 40: Note that after you upgrade to this new version of TrueCrypt, due to a bug 41: in v3.0 and 3.0a, it will not be possible to mount hidden volumes created by 42: TrueCrypt 3.0 or 3.0a located on some removable media, e.g., some USB memory 43: sticks (does not apply to file-hosted containers). If that is the case, 44: please before upgrading to this new version, move your files to a temporary 45: TrueCrypt volume on a non-removable medium or to a non-hidden volume on a 46: removable medium, and move the data from the old hidden volume to this 47: temporary one. Then install this new version of TrueCrypt, create a new 48: hidden volume, and move your files from the temporary volume to it. Please 49: see the 'Version History' in the documentation for more information. 50: 51: 52: IMPORTANT NOTE TO USERS UPGRADING FROM TRUECRYPT 2.1 OR EARLIER: 53: TrueCrypt volumes encrypted using the IDEA encryption algorithm cannot be 54: mounted using this version. If you have such a volume, before upgrading, 55: please create a new TrueCrypt volume using a cipher other than IDEA and move 56: your files to this new volume. 57: 58: 59: Before using TrueCrypt, we recommend that you read the TrueCrypt User Guide, 60: which can be found in the 'Setup Files' folder. To view or print it, you 61: need Adobe Reader, which is freely available at http://www.adobe.com.
