1 VeraCrypt is a free open source disk encryption software for Windows,
2 Mac OSX and Linux.
3 Brought to you by IDRIX (https://www.idrix.fr) and based on TrueCrypt 7.1a.
5 VeraCrypt main features:
6 * Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as
7 a real disk.
8 * Encrypts an entire partition or storage device such as USB flash drive
9 or hard drive.
10 * Encrypts a partition or drive where Windows is installed
11 (pre-boot authentication).
12 * Encryption is automatic, real-time(on-the-fly) and transparent.
13 * Parallelisation and pipelining allow data to be read and written as fast
14 as if the drive was not encrypted.
15 * Encryption can be hardware-accelerated on modern processors.
16 * Provides plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal
17 the password: Hidden volume (steganography) and hidden operating system.
