Sounds good, but has there been a security analysis of this product, its methods and encryption algorithms to ensure that it does what it says it does?
With all due respect to the people who wrote this, there are many examples of encryption tools which have many holes in them.
Is it as good as Truecrypt?
The program uses cryptsetup with LUKS extension for encrypting disk image files/physical disk drives.
Therefore the usage of encryption algorithms is safe and probably faster than Truecrypt.
The program does not implement or directly use any encryption algorithms. The password prompted when mounting an encrypted device is immediately deleted from memory and never stored in the disk.
