Default How secure is Truecrypt ncryption?


Hi Guys!

I have some VERY confidential data, accounts to be precise, which I have encrypted with Truecrypt 4.3a. Encryption details are as follows...

Encryption Algorithm : AES-Twofish-Serpent
Key Size : 768 Bits
Block Size : 128 Bits
Mode of Operation : LRW
Hash Algorithm : RIPEMD-160

I have set a password of 15+ characters with a mixture of uppercase, lowercase, symbols & numbers.

Now, is it possible for professionals to crack this encryption. Moreover, which is the best Encryption & Hash Algorithm.

Thank you.

Better ask Google man... he seems to know everything...
Google also answers some of ur doubts...

His junior... Wikipedia also is a good guide.

Check this out... supported by truecrypt... secure enough..

More to read.... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
The Twofish team presents a table of safety factors for the AES finalists. Safety factor is defined as: number of rounds of the full cipher divided by the largest number of rounds that has been broken. Hence, a broken cipher has the lowest safety factor 1. Serpent had the highest safety factor of the AES finalists: 3.56 (for all supported key sizes). Rijndael-256 had a safety factor of 1.56. Serpent appeared to have a high security margin, while Rijndael appeared to have only an adequate security margin.
