Project Description <\/p>\n
VeraCrypt is a free disk encryption software brought to you by IDRIX (https:\/\/www.idrix.fr<\/a>) and that is based on TrueCrypt 7.1a. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Windows \/ MacOSX \/ Linux \/ Raspbian\/ Source Downloads <\/p>\n Online Documentation (click here for latest User Guide PDF) <\/p>\n Release Notes \/ Changelog <\/p>\n Frequently Asked Question <\/p>\n Android & iOS Support <\/p>\n Contributed Resources & Downloads (Tutorials, PPA, ARM, Raspberry Pi...) <\/p>\n Warrant Canary <\/p>\n Contact US <\/p>\n<\/p>\n VeraCrypt adds enhanced security to the algorithms used for system and partitions encryption making it immune to new developments in brute-force attacks. VeraCrypt also solves many vulnerabilities and security issues found in TrueCrypt. The following post describes some of the enhancements and corrections done: https:\/\/veracrypt.codeplex.com\/discussions\/569777#PostContent_1313325<\/a> <\/p>\n As an example, when the system partition is encrypted, TrueCrypt uses PBKDF2-RIPEMD160 with 1000 iterations whereas in VeraCrypt we use 327661. And for standard containers and other partitions, TrueCrypt uses at most 2000 iterations but VeraCrypt uses 655331 for RIPEMD160 and 500000 iterations for SHA-2 and Whirlpool. <\/p>\n This enhanced security adds some delay only to the opening of encrypted partitions without any performance impact to the application use phase. This is acceptable to the legitimate owner but it makes it much harder for an attacker to gain access to the encrypted data. <\/p>\n Starting from version 1.12, it is possible to use custom iterations through the PIM feature, which can be used to increase the encryption security. <\/p>\n Starting from version 1.0f, VeraCrypt can load TrueCrypt volume. It also offers the possibility to convert TrueCrypt containers and non-system partitions to VeraCrypt format. <\/p>\n UPDATE October 17th 2016 : VeraCrypt 1.19 has been released. It includes fixes for issues reported by Quarkslab audit that was funded by OSTIF. This release also brings many enhancements and fixes, like Serpent algorithm speedup by a factor of 2.5 and the support of Windows 32-bit for EFI system encryption. Please check therelease notes for the complete list of changes. Download for Windows is here.<\/p>\n UPDATE August 18th 2016 : The Windows installer for VeraCrypt 1.18 has been updated to include drivers signed by Microsoft that allow VeraCrypt to run on Windows 10 Anniversary Edition. Windows Installer version was incremented to 1.18a but there is no changed at VeraCrypt level. Linux and MacOSX installers remain unchanged.<\/p>\n UPDATE August 17th 2016 : VeraCrypt 1.18 has been released. It brings EFI system encryption for Windows (a world first in open source community) and it solves a TrueCrypt vulnerability that allows attacker to detect the presence of hidden volume. This release also brings many enhancements and fixes. Please check therelease notes for the complete list of changes. Download for Windows is here. <\/p>\n As usual, a MacOSX version is available in the Downloads section or by clicking on the following link. It supports MacOSX 10.6 and above and it requires OSXFUSE 2.3 and later(https:\/\/osxfuse.github.io\/<\/a>). MacFUSE compatibility layer must checked during OSXFUSE installation. Also a Linux version is available in the Downloads section or by clicking on the following link. The package contains the installation scripts for 32-bit and 64-bit versions, and for GUI and console-only version (choose which script is adapted the best to your machine). <\/p>\n All released files are signed with a PGP key available on the following link : https:\/\/www.idrix.fr\/VeraCrypt\/VeraCrypt_PGP_public_key.asc<\/a> . It's also available on major key servers with ID=0x54DDD393. Please check that its fingerprint is 993B7D7E8E413809828F0F29EB559C7C54DDD393. <\/p>\n SHA256 and SHA512 sums for all released files are available in the Downloads section. <\/p>\n VeraCrypt on the fly encrypting the system partition :<\/p>\n VeraCrypt creating an encrypted volume : <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Changing the GUI language of VeraCrypt<\/p>\n <\/p>\n See original here:
