VeraCrypt

VeraCrypt

Strong disk and partition encryption tool

Description

Want to lock an entire drive or USB stick so no one without the password can see inside? VeraCrypt is the benchmark—create encrypted virtual disks, or encrypt whole partitions/removable drives, then mount and use them like a normal drive. It greatly hardens the security built on TrueCrypt. It also does hidden volumes: hand over a decoy password under coercion while the real secrets stay invisible inside. Cross-platform, free and open source—a safe for important data.

Features



Disk encryption: encrypt whole partitions, USB drives, or make encrypted virtual disks.

Transparent: mounted, it reads/writes like a normal drive, auto crypt in background.

Hidden volumes: hide a volume within a volume to resist coercion.
