Description

VeraCrypt is a free open source disk encryption software for Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux. It can also be used to create encrypted file containers. VeraCrypt uses the AES encryption algorithm with a key size of 256 bits, the Serpent algorithm with a key size of 256 bits, and the twofish algorithm with a key size of 256 bits. It also uses the RIPEMD160 encryption algorithm with a key size of 160 bits. VeraCrypt is a powerful tool for encrypting sensitive data on your computer. It can be used to protect confidential documents, emails, and other information from being accessed by unauthorized people. It does this by creating an encrypted file container that can be accessed only with a password. The encrypted file container is protected with a strong encryption algorithm, which makes it difficult for anyone to access the data without the correct password. VeraCrypt also provides other security features such as keyfiles, hidden volumes, and plausible deniability.
