Suggestions for a new name about truecrypt

[felixrabe]

FalseCrypt

[felixrabe]

NewCrypt – suggested by @tigerhawkvok in #2 (comment)

[tigerhawkvok]

LibreCrypt would also have overtones of forking, as LibreOffice vs. OpenOffice and LibreSSL vs. OpenSSL (though I admit the fact "Libre" is two syllables makes it not as elegant to say)

[JamesSwift]

For now, how about TempCrypt? 👅

[JamesSwift]

BoolCrypt

[t541hoo]

TheCrypterFormerkNownAsTrueCrypt (TCFNATC) or as a tribute the SHA of the version 7.1a Source "253990adb669324b57a731f70770cd95d08c18d7"

[felixrabe]

@t541hoo - the name may not contain "TrueCrypt" ;-) - but your suggestion made me think of something - I wonder whether the SHA1 of "TrueCrypt" would be illegal (as it "contains" the name "TrueCrypt") ;-)

[rc0r]

ShitLocker - Really keeps your sensitive shit private!

[doekbrijder]

unfortunately someone is holding librecrypt .com, .net and .org.... (someone you know?)

[Vault17]

whois of librecrypt .net and librecrypt .org containin registred email and admin's email.
librecrypt.ws is free.

P.S.
OpenCrypt or FreeCrypt?

IMHO, TrustCrypt is really good name :)

[doekbrijder]

for these two the .com is also taken

[tsumi]

librecrypt.net/.org was registered on 28th and 29th...
Same for OpenCrypt.org/.net, registered about a year ago

FreeCrypt.org/.net are FREE (for now).

I think a domain name with the exact name is needed too (yes, you can use something like librecyptfoundation.net but the existence of a librecypt.net not under your control can cause some problems, ie. misunderstanding/phishing/etc.).

Maybe someone should pre-register domain for nicest names ...

EDIT: TrustCrypt.org/.net/.com FREE too

[doekbrijder]

someone who favours this project and not his wallet... But we are working on it and hope a rename is not necessary...

[tsumi]

@doekbrijder yes, this is what i mean :), anyway, don't change the name should be a better choice, if possible

[Vault17]

TrustCrypt - com, org, net is FREE for now. I think, that you should rename the project, because from this time the project has a new team and a new license.

[tsumi]

I just asking myself ... is a good choice use a .org/.net/.com/etc domain?
They are partially under US legislation (see TVShack case https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_O%27Dwyer )

[doekbrijder]

plan to always use the .ch domain and just route the others

[tsumi]

@doekbrijder i'm not really sure that this is enough ... in TVShark case servers are not in US and the domain only "redirect" to servers in UK...

[YtvwlD]

Well, according to domai.nr some .pt domains are free...

[felixrabe]

Guys, domain name discussion is appreciated, but severely off-topic and actually way too early. We didn't even have a proper contest. And we won't have a contest before it has been decided to change the name of the project.

So keep suggesting cool names and save wallet-opening and domain-searching for later.

[felixrabe]

Actually sorry for confronting @doekbrijder who is actually a member of this project while I am not. But still, domain search is right now wasted time, (money,) and energy in my opinion.

[t541hoo]

@felixrabe : Just like Prince use only the abbreviation TCFNATC and you are save.

[Fensterbank]

FalseCrypt (suggested by @felixrabe) is a nice side blow to TrueCrypt, but it sounds not very trustful... ;)
LibreCrypt I like too.

[rockking1379]

FullCrypt
NextCrypt

[nwb99]

1. CrossCrypt (Cross Platform Encryptor) (It'd have to support Linux, Windows, Mac)
2. CPCrypt (Cross Platform Encryptor) (It'd have to support Linux, Windows, Mac)

[rockking1379]

@br3akth3lim1t if it doesn't have Linux, Windows, and Mac support then we are doing the project an injustice

[nwb99]

@rockking1379 TC is the only cross-platform tool that I've found.

[rockking1379]

@br3akth3lim1t exactly, so if we are to continue the "truecrypt" project then cross-platform support is just a flat out requirement

[felixrabe]

Drypt (Drive / Disk encRYPTion)

[felixrabe]

• TrueForkedCrypt
• TrulyForkedCrypt

[jrosco]

being a fan of lastpass, maybe lastcrypt

[rockking1379]

ForkCrypt

XCrypt

[felixrabe]

Creative outbreak:

• Count of Monte Crypto
• MonteCrypto
• The license doesn't forbid these, but maybe someone else won't like them :) - PepsiCrypt, ColaCrypt, YogaCrypt, GuruCrypt, McCrypt, MasterCrypt
• AbsoluteCryptologicalTruth
• Cryptological (yes, just like that)
• CrypTru
• I find this too sexist, but still funny (yeah, bad joke): NoWomanNoCry(pt)
• AtlantiCrypt

[Salzem]

Actually, i would consider LibreCrypt as the best choice.
It's kinda like OpenOffice/LibreOffice (LOo>OOo).
But OpenCrypt it still an excellent name, since the project will be Open, and it is actually beeing Openly Audited (the dev has not begin, so it's still Truecrypt 7.1a, which is beeing audited here : https://opencryptoaudit.org/ )
So in my opinion, LibreCrypt and OpenCrypt are the best choices.

[strasharo]

Yep, OpenCrypt sounds good. :)

[JamesSwift]

I second that

There is a tiny problem with OpenCrypt name - there are at least 2 existing
projects/products with this name.
librecrypt.org is also already taken, but empty and I haven't checked who
owns it, may be he is from TC community.

[niutech]

RealCrypt is the already established name, which I am proposing in #10.

[TBurnip]

TheCyrpt

[Salzem]

TrustCrypt, FreeCrypt, and OpenCrypt seem to be good.

[positivezero]

UCrypt, NewCrypt and OpenCrypt are fine!

[liurnd]

TrustCrypt sounds good

[krtschil]

CryptOn

[compul]

I suggest to move away from *Crypt names, to create a distinct branding, instead of just the impression of a "truecrypt rescue mission".
Thus my name suggestion is:

CipherShed

Since a few people on the "geekcrypt" mailing list liked it, somebody already bought it for the future project.

[bking]

CryptKeeper

[Sonique]

CryptOn sounds great and memorable. Good and simple.

[MyPictures]

TrueCryptPlus (and the icon would have a little + as addition)
TrueCrypt+

It depends if you guys plan to change truecrypt a lot or start from scratch. If so then change the name to something completly diffrent.

[antoine-pous]

SafeCrypt | SecuredCrypt

Could divert the acronym for the NSA, to say hello from Switzerland.

[zmiimz]

RealCrypt is already well known 2. name for TC

[niutech]

I agree with @zmiimz.

[Overlord23]

CryptShield sounds good!

ReKrypt. Re meaning "again" http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/re-

ReKrypt. Re meaning "again"

I like this one. "re" also means "really", "intensely" in some variants of Spanish - http://spanish.stackexchange.com/questions/1357/argentine-slang-re

Interesting.

Why not ReCrypt, though?

@v6 - I did initially think of suggesting "ReCrypt". I changed it purely because of domain availability. The "recrypt" domains were not available and the "rekrypt" ones are.

[v6]

Having a cool name is more important than having the domain name for it.

It could always just be "ReCryptApp" or "GetReCrypt". Lots of great
software has done that.

The main thing is to just get started on that shit.

For one thing, ReCrypt is in use:

https://tuts4you.com/download.php?view.1820

Also, ReCrypt.com is squatted. I haven't heard a squatting-free, unused,
non-trademarked name better than CipherShed, IMO. I'm not saying
CipherShed is the best we can do, but after a lot of collective noodling
here and on the CipherShed list, we still haven't found something that is
clearly better.

It depends on the squatter. I contacted the guys squatting FreeCrypt.com,
and they feel they have a legit use for it in the future, so we can't have
it, at least not for any reasonable price. The FreeCrypt.org guy offered
it for free, which is very generous, but I don't think Windows users are
going to be OK with .com not working.

I don't think Windows users are going to be OK with .com not working.

Any reason why? A lot of open source projects have rather poor domain names (keepass.info comes to mind, but also all the getsomething.org or that.io) but that usually doesn't make a big difference to the success of the project.

TruerCrypt.com

[laurent22]

Who type "something.com" directly these days? :) Normal workflow is: google.com > "ciphershed" > done (unless the cybersquatter is an SEO genuis). Nissan doesn't own nissan.com and they seem to be doing fine.

[waywardgeek]

Sorry, I was in a bad mood tonight, after I felt the CipherShed team might
be under attack from the MIB. It was totally my fault for being that
paranoid and misreading what was posted. However, the reality is that we
need to own whatever domain.com we wind up with. We had a very generous
offer from the owner of FreeCrypt.org to give us the name. However,
FreeCrypt.com is in use (not squated - I chatted with the owner, who feels
he has a legit use). Window's users, meaning TrueCrypt's primary user
base, are not very sophisticated. Owning the .com seems to me to be
critical for success, though that's just my opinion. It' is up to us to
protect these low-sophistication users.

I happen to have bought Nissans my whole live, starting with the 240SX. I
now drive an Infinity G37 coupe (the proper successor to the 300ZX), which
I thought would be the last car I could ever drive, due to deteriorating
vision. However, with vitamin D suplaments, my vision seems to have
stabilized.

The fact that they don't own Nissan.com drives me nuts! Not only that,
just today I went to UnitedAirlines.com and got half way through purchasing
a ticket before realizing it was a scam. It's worse if you have low vision
or aren't very web-savvy. This is the land of real TrueCrypt users...

PrismCrypt (hat tip to NSA PRISM program)

ReCipher (similar to ReCrypt, ReKrypt). Domain is available.

How about something denoting inheritance?

SonOfTrueCrypt? OpenTrueCrypt? TrueCrypt2? TrueCryptJr? NewTrueCrypt? TrueCryptOpen? TrueOpenCrypt? PublicTrueCrypt?

ThePackageFormerlyKnownAsTrueCrypt? ;)

other thots:

PerfectCrypt? VeritasCrypt? VeriCrypt? PureCrypt? SecureCrypt? HonestCrypt? CoolCrypt? TransparentCrypt? ClearCrypt? LucidCrypt? OurCrypt? PeoplesCrypt? CommunityCrypt? CryptHub? PublicCrypt?

I liked, a lot, TruerCrypt...

[cx]

DarkFS (Dark Filesystem)
Domain available.

[chrisedebo]

I agree with you, TrueCrypt was a great name for a great product. Sadly the existing license for TrueCrypt prevents anyone from using a the same name or one containing the previous name. Which unfortunately discounts many of your suggestions.

+1 for RealCrypt

TwoCrypt (for version 2 :D)

[antoine-pous]

For those seeking an alternative with better results there VeraCrypt. This is a fork of TrueCrypt but with better algorithms.

A Linux version should be available soon. https://veracrypt.codeplex.com/

[ravecoyote]

For me, both EnCrypt and OpenCrypt seem excellent choices.

While OpenCrypt sounds a little more obvious EnCrypt is indeed also a very elegant name, representing the matter completely in itself.

Combining both names would result in "Open EnCrypt" as maybe the best choice here. Especially since you can always refer to it with its short name "EnCrypt", while the official project would be refered to as "Open EnCrypt".

"Open EnCrypt" contains the most simple and straightforward information about the project itself. No further explanation needed (at least regarding the name)

Comments are most welcome
Cheers
Kristo

[YtvwlD]

I like EnCrypt.
The name matches the purpose of this software.

(And TwoCrypt.)
