Free open-source disk encryption software for Windows XP/2000/2003 and Linux

  • 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, Blowfish (448-bit key), CAST5, Serpent, Triple DES, and Twofish.
    Mode of operation: LRW  (CBC supported as legacy).

    Further information regarding features of the software may be found in the documentation.
