      TrueCrypt - Open-Source Disk Encryption Software
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    DETAILS

    TrueCrypt is on-the-fly disk encryption software that can create a virtual
    encrypted disk within a file and mount it as a real disk. It can also
    encrypt an entire hard disk partition, or a storage device such as USB
    memory stick. The product also supports plausible deniability.

    Main Features:
     * It can create a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mount it as a
    real disk.
     * It can encrypt an entire hard disk partition or a device, such as USB
    memory stick, floppy disk, etc.
     * Provides two levels of plausible deniability, in case an adversary
    forces you to reveal the password:
       1) Hidden volume.
       2) No TrueCrypt volume can be identified (TrueCrypt volumes cannot be
    distinguished from random data).
     * Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Blowfish (448-bit key), CAST5, Serpent
    (256-bit key), Triple DES, and Twofish (256-bit key). Supports cascading
    (e.g., AES-Twofish-Serpent).
     * Based on Encryption for the Masses (E4M) 2.02a, which was conceived in
    1997.
