GeezerVison is showing sourceforge.net — VeraCrypt

VeraCrypt is a free disk encryption software brought to you by IDRIX (https://www.idrix.fr) and based on TrueCrypt 7.1a.

It adds enhanced security to the algorithms used for system and partitions encryption making it immune to new developments in brute-force attacks. It also solves many vulnerabilities and security issues found in TrueCrypt.

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.

All released files are PGP signed with key ID=0x680D16DE, available on key servers and downloadable at https://www.idrix.fr/VeraCrypt/VeraCrypt_PGP_public_key.asc

VeraCrypt can mount TrueCrypt volumes. It also can convert them to VeraCrypt format.

It’s popular in Korea, too. Korean reviewers who specialize in privacy and open-source software also recommend VeraCrypt as an excellent encryption tool. (netxhack.com veracrypt review) I’m grateful to have a free way to keep my data safe, and I hope it sticks around for a long time.

As a small company, we've been relying on VeraCrypt (after having used TrueCrypt) on all our laptops and desktops. It went flawlessly through many Linux and Windows updates and upgrades successfully, now under Win11 in my case, and latest Ubuntu. For such a deep and critical function, I wouldn't trust any other tool. I noticed recently a small glitch when mounting favorites under Win11 and it was understood and fixed quickly, so there is real support behind Veracrypt.

I've been using VeraCrypt for several years now and support the project through donations periodically. Others may use the software for little-used scenarios and have to dig into the documentation a little, but I only use it for the basics; making volumes and full system encryption and have never had a single problem doing that. A huge thanks to Mounir Idrassi for his hard work and never-ending quest to make VeraCrypt better. It's already the world-class encryption method for files and disks and I'm not sure how it can get any better but Mounir always finds a way and adds more features. Simply make a container, mount it, drop your files in, close it. Done. With a strong password, no technology in existence today (literally) is going to decrypt your files. Using VeraCrypt daily, the newest versions are better than ever, documentation still great, support is always on top of any questions. Never had a single problem with it. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

Decryption is broken suddenly. Credentials are correct. This critical software has become unreliable. Fix the software and I'm happy to fix this informational review.
