Download VeraCrypt
VeraCrypt is a powerful tool to encrypt data. The software is based on the popular TrueCrypt. VeraCrypt relative to the protoplasts has raised the security level of data encryption. Download VeraCrypt and use it for free.
The program is designed to encrypt entire drives, selected partitions, and portable USB drives.VeraCrypt can also create a virtual encrypted disk and password-protected against unauthorized access. The user can set the size of the virtual drive. Securing data is done using encryption algorithms such as AES-256, Serpent, and Twofish. VeraCrypt also offers cascading encryption, and data security feature using several encryption algorithms simultaneously.
VeraCrypt the encryption system partition using PBKDF2-RIPEMD16 takes 327,661 iterations rather than 1000 as is the case in TrueCrypt software and using standard data containers and other partitions TrueCrypt takes 2000 iterations and uses up VeraCrypt 655331 and 500000 for RIPEMD160 for SHA-2 and Whirlpool. Making such large iteration has a significant impact on the protection of encrypted data.
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.
