VeraCrypt is a free open source disk encryption software for Windows, Mac OSX
and Linux. Brought to you by IDRIX (https://www.idrix.fr) and based on TrueCrypt
7.1a.

VeraCrypt main features:
 * 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.
 * Parallelization and pipelining allow data to be read and written as fast as
   if the drive was not encrypted.
 * Encryption can be hardware-accelerated on modern processors.
 * Provides plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the
   password: Hidden volume (steganography) and hidden operating system.
 * More information about the features of VeraCrypt may be found in the
   documentation

WHAT DOES VERACRYPT BRING TO YOU?

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.

As an example, when the system partition is encrypted, TrueCrypt uses
PBKDF2-RIPEMD160 with 1000 iterations whereas in VeraCrypt we use 200000
iterations by default (can be increased using a custom PIM). And for standard
containers and other partitions, TrueCrypt uses at most 2000 iterations but
VeraCrypt uses 500000 iterations by default (can also be increased using a
custom PIM).

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.

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.

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.
