Suggestions for a new name

[felixrabe]

If for some reason this project had to change its name, what should it be?

This issue is not a competition (so no need for "I like X suggested by Y") - if there is a need for a new name, this list can be used as basis for a competition.

FalseCrypt

[felixrabe]

NewCrypt – suggested by @tigerhawkvok in https://github.com/FreeApophis/TrueCrypt/issues/2#issuecomment-44701075

[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? :tongue:

[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") ;-)

[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.

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)

• TrulyForkedCrypt

[jrosco]

XCrypt

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. :)

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.

[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.

CryptKeeper

[Sonique]

CryptOn sounds great and memorable. Good and simple.
