TrueCrypt security audit presses on, despite developers jumping ship

The second round involves a thorough cryptanalysis, including an audit of the TrueCrypt cipher suites, random number generators, and the way volumes are encrypted. Online fundraisers to bankroll the project have raised about $70,000, well past the $25,000 organizers had hoped for.”]
