  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.
