Comment on Importing VS 2005 project files into VS 2008 by dave

Yeah, we tripped over this as well and wasted a day finding it. For us it was worse: the project properties showed that all projects in the solutions were set to Optimize Speed (/O2) but the /O2 was omitted from the command line!

Comment on Turbo TrueCrypt 5.0 – AES in assembler by MrMAG

It seems they included ASM-AES in the newest (5.1) version of Truecrypt … so no need to fiddle with the sources (thank goodness!); but thanks 1000 times for getting the process started!

I’d like to see ASM enhanced versions of Twofish and Serpent, myself. Can anyone find a faster Twofish optimization? Would the one from Schneier be sufficient? http://www.schneier.com/twofish-download.html (Pentium/Pro/II Assembly)

Did you inform them of these further improvements?

Hi all,
TrueCrypt foundation has implemented AES in ASM in its latest Version 5.1 – so, letâ€™s thank Andreas for kicking off the process!

Anyone tested “FastCrypt” or is there a download for testing it?

@ anonymous / iceman
Interesting to be able to follow the somewhat technical discussion here – may the less gifted hope for a ready made “FastCrypt” version?

“Iâ€™ve now come so far to have replaced the Serpent implementation with Gladmanâ€™s implementation, and removed all the legacy stuff (BlowFish, DES, 3DES, SHA1, CAST, AES-LRW). Including various optimizations, the driver is still down to 171 KB, and of course amazing speed. I also included some fixes for some errors (well, even vulnerabilities) which Iâ€™ve reported to the developers.”

You planning to share the goodness (=driver) with us?

Oh, just one last thing: The TrueCrypt license does indeed allow you to distribute the modified version, but you’re required to remove all references to the product name “TrueCrypt”. That is, you just need to make the GUI print a different name (f.e. “FastCrypt”), and in the Readme you should mention that it’s based on TrueCrypt, but one shouldn’t harass their developers with questions/support/bugs.
