Re: Disk encryption may not be secure enough

Concerns about this very thing when using WDE (whole disk encryption) in the latest version of TrueCrypt. No easy solution, apparently.

I just use straight volume encryption with TrueCrypt, and have it set to not cache passwords. I also have Windows set to clear the pagefile on shutdown. I lose no sleep.

I'm confident that if anyone can find a way to fix this issue in WDE, it's the fine and brilliant folks at TrueCrypt.

I run my windows boxes without a pagefile. And i'd assume that ram clears itself on a power cycle? One would hope. if not, the first person to come up with ram that clears itself like that would make a ton of money (copyright 2008 Genewitch)
