Spec URL: http://rathann.fedorapeople.org/review/truecrypt.spec
SRPM URL: http://rathann.fedorapeople.org/review/truecrypt-5.0a-1.src.rpm

Main Features:
- Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a
  real disk.
- Encrypts an entire hard disk partition or a storage device such as
  USB flash drive.
- Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent.
- Provides two levels of plausible deniability, in case an adversary
  forces you to reveal the password:
  1) Hidden volume (steganography).
  2) No TrueCrypt volume can be identified (volumes cannot be
  distinguished from random data).
- Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Blowfish (448-bit key), CAST5,
  Serpent, Triple DES, and Twofish. Mode of operation: LRW (CBC
  supported as legacy).

Why not in Fedora?
Problematic licence.
