While we are at it I would like to clear up as to whether the volume is
recognized or not.



On the Security and Encryption FAQ - Revision 21.1.1 of Dr Who to be found
at https://www.panta-rhei.eu.org/pantaw...dEncryptionFaq, it
says:



"[TrueCrypt] does not display any file header info to help a snooper
identify the file's purpose. The header is encrypted and shows as random
garbage. But it will identify which type of format was used to create the
Truecrypt volume. Despite Windows and other programs claiming the partition
is not formatted, Truecrypt will itself rather unhelpfully tell the world
that it is obviously a Truecrypt created volume. I am at a loss to
understand the logic of this, but there it is."



But on the Truecrypt page at http://www.truecrypt.org/, it says:



"2) No TrueCrypt volume can be identified (volumes cannot be distinguished
from random data)."



Does this mean that the Security and Encryption FAQ is not up-to-date or
that the TrueCrypt page is not entirely correct? Or, alternatively, that
there is something I am missing?
