-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 This is VeraCrypt's Warrant Canary. Statements - ----------- VeraCrypt developers state the following: 1. The date of issue of this canary is August 30th, 2026. 2. VeraCrypt main signing key is used to sign this canary. Its ID is 0x680D16DE and its fingerprint is 5069 A233 D55A 0EEB 174A 5FC3 821A CD02 680D 16DE 3. No warrants have ever been served to them with regards to the VeraCrypt Project (e.g. to hand out the private signing keys, or to introduce backdoors), nor have any searches or seizures taken place. 4. The next such canary statement is planned to be published before the end of September 2026. Special note should be taken if no new canary gets published by that time, or if the list of statements change without plausible explanation. Disclaimers & Notes - ---------------------- This scheme is not infallible. Although signing the declaration makes it very difficult for a third party to produce arbitrary declarations, it does not prevent them from using force, or other means like blackmail, or compromise of the signers' laptops, to coerce us to produce false declarations. The news feed quoted below (Proof of Date) serves to demonstrate that this canary could not have been created prior to the date stated. It shows that a series of canaries were not created in advance. This declaration is merely a best effort and provided without any guarantees, warranty, and is not legally binding in any way to anybody. None of the signers should be ever held legally responsible for any of the statements made here.
