TrueCrypt: Free open-source disk encryption software for Windows Vista/XP/2000 and Linux

T r u e C r y p t
Free open-source disk encryption software for Windows Vista/XP/2000 and Linux
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 – more information may be found here).

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


Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Serpent, and Twofish. Mode of operation: LRW.
Further information regarding features of the software may be found in the documentation.
