"TrueCrypt
Free open-source disk encryption software for Windows XP/2000/2003 and Linux
Main Features:
* It can create a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mount it as a re=
al disk.
* It can encrypt an entire hard disk partition or a device, such as USB mem=
ory stick, floppy disk, etc.
* Provides two levels of plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces=
you to reveal the password:
1) Hidden volume (more information may be found here).
2) No TrueCrypt volume can be identified (TrueCrypt volumes cannot be dis=
tinguished from random data).
* Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Blowfish (448-bit key), CAST5, Serpent (2=
56-bit key), Triple DES, and=20
Twofish (256-bit key). Supports cascading (e.g., AES-Twofish-Serpent).
* Based on Encryption for the Masses (E4M) 2.02a, which was conceived in 19=
97.
Further information regarding the features of the software may be found in =
the documentation."
"Complete source code (in C) of the latest stable version of TrueCrypt for =
all supported operating=20
systems and all supported hardware platforms" are available from http://www=
