VeraCrypt — шифрование дисков и контейнеров

★ 11.4K

VeraCrypt is an on-the-fly disk-encryption tool: it creates encrypted file containers or encrypts whole partitions and drives, so the data is readable only with a password/key while working with it stays transparent. Reach for it when you need to reliably protect files on a computer or USB stick: make an encrypted vault for documents, encrypt a system or external drive, and ensure privacy in case a device is stolen or seized. It offers hidden volumes for plausible deniability, support for strong algorithms, and cross-platform operation (Windows, macOS, Linux). It is the successor to TrueCrypt with security fixes. Its focus is local encryption of data storage on a device, not sending secrets over the network (cryptgeon for that) or a password manager: it protects data at rest on drives and media. Note: a forgotten password means permanent loss of access to the data.
