Hi, Shit the cat says "Thanks for asking"

First of all 7.1.1 has a bit of a history. The actual version audited 
was 7.1a. Seriously, don't go there. Someone squirted open sauce all 
over it. Terrible mess.

Anyway, Veracrypt used the audited 7.1a I'm told

The vulnerabilities identified in the OCAP audit were fixed says AI but 
all I can tell ya is the version history has no mention of the Open 
Crypto Audit post 5/4/2015 but a ton of work has been done since then.

Also the key derivation security was overhauled making brute force 
attacks way harder.

You can find Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the OCAP report on your favorite 
repository GitHub if you weren't a dinosaur that is but I'm sure someone 
will find them for you.

iSEC Partners / NCC Group Publications is allegedly the spell that your 
old friend Google will magically use to transport you there. I really 
cannot be arsed to check because .... see below

btw fun fact the TrueCrypt developers buggered off and recommended 
people use Bitlocker.

Four dots is that like super skeptical inferring your usual conspiracy 
innuendo or are you being generally supportive? I hope it's the latter.

AI reckons it's had another couple of audits since. Veracrypt that is.

Thanks
