Let’s audit Truecrypt!
This premise was referenced in linuxbsdos and certainly presents a valid point for auditing Truecrypt, if no one knows who exactly wrote it…

The Security Bit
Time:
Just to clarify, the public key is used by the
remote user to encrypt to the user, and to verify signature from the
user, and the private key is used to sign a message or file (called
non-repudiation) as well as to decrypt messages encrypted with the
public key. The signature is hash of the message or file, and that hash
is signed by the private key of the user. That way, any changes to the
file would result in a change of that hash, which would cause the
signature mechanism to fail the check. I generally draw it out this way:
Private Public
sign message ———> signature verification (non-repudiation)
decrypt
Is it Alive (or is it another UbuntuOS…)?
Time:
During this segment of the show, I challenge Mat and Tony to identify whether a Linux Distro is alive or dead? Every other week, I twist the concept for our game show and challenge Mat and Tony to decide if the named entity was a Linux distribution or something else. Previous twists have include whether the distro was French, Ubuntu-based, a super hero, or my favorite twist, a bar drink. I’ll have a Liquid Lemur with my chips, please.
This week is twist week and in the spirit of Ubuntu’s latest release “Saucy Salamander” I challenge Mat and Tony to decide whether the named Linux distro is based on Ubuntu. As is customary during twist week, extra credit will be given if after Mat and Tony correctly identify the distro, they also correctly identify whether it is alive or dead. The items for this week’s show are:
====================================
MundusOS
VERDICT: Yes-Dead
====================================
OwnOS
It is in the system is a customized version of Ubuntu Linux (10:04) which was packed with functions and powerful programs.Emphasis was placed mainly on the field of graphics and media processing but also video and audio editing applications as well as the complete range of digital life I have tried to cover
VERDICT: Yes – Alive
===================================
MagOS Linux – is a versatile distribution based on Mandriva / Rosa Linux scripts and Linux-live.org
VERDICT: No – Alive

DaxOS GNU/Linux is a free operating system based on Ubuntu, which aims to provide users with an innovative concept of software and be intuitive and easy
VERDICT: Yes – Alive
===================================
BuluOS flavor of GNU / Linux operating system, currently only supports x86_64/amd64 platform, BuluoOS as LiveDVD system, without pre-installed, can be mounted through the GRUB boot CD or burn the ISO run, experience the system functions.If necessary, you can install the LiveDVD system running on the host hard drive.
VERDICT No – Alive
===================================
AnokOS AnikOS now is an effort to build a secure and usable linux distro to use on any security-critical Desktop or Server. AnikOS is based on current Hardened Gentoo and built entirely from source.
VERDICT: No – Alive
