it is a way of decrypting 
(allowing the truecrypt volume to be mounted)
without using a passphrase,
possibly avoiding issues of keyloggers, passphrase capturing,
and concerns about memory

ideally,
a keyfile on a smartcard that would work with truecrypt,
might provide the most secure option

i defer to others more familiar with computer security 
for their opinions
on whether or not there is any actual advantage 
over secure passphrase usage
