TrueCrypt 7.1a
TrueCrypt 7.1a |
Description
TrueCrypt is a software system for
establishing and maintaining an on-the-fly-encrypted drive. On-the-fly
encryption means that data are automatically encrypted or decrypted right
before they are loaded or saved, without any user intervention.
No data stored
on an encrypted volume can be read (decrypted) without using the correct
password or correct encryption key. Until decrypted, a TrueCrypt volume appears
to be nothing more than a series of random numbers. The entire file system is
encrypted (i.e., file names, folder names, contents of every file, and free
space).
This software is highly recommended
for securing data on laptops.
TrueCrypt performs the following
tasks:
- Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk.
- Encrypts an entire partition or storage device such as USB flash drive or hard drive.
- Encrypts a partition or drive where Windows is installed (pre-boot authentication).
- 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) and hidden operating system. 2) No TrueCrypt volume can be identified (volumes cannot be distinguished from random data).
- Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Serpent, and Twofish. Mode of operation: XTS.
