VeraCrypt

VeraCrypt is a Windows application for encrypting files on your hard disk to protect them from outsiders. A key media creation mode is provided. You can specify the hashing type in the settings. Several encryption algorithms are supported, including AES and Twofish.

Protection

After installing and activating the program, you need to specify the partition where you plan to store important data. Such a container can be deployed on a hard disk or an external drive. The next step allows you to specify a password for access. Then you need to specify the size of the area and generate a key. It is possible to specify the hashing and encryption algorithm. After that, you can upload folders and files of different types to the storage. While working with such data, they will be stored in RAM after decryption. This scheme provides a high level of protection from external attacks. As an additional layer of protection, a password is used, which must be entered each time the PC is turned on.

Tools

The application allows you to create a special hidden operating system that cannot be detected by external tools. A data backup function is also provided. A separate module allows you to generate encryption keys and save them on tokens. For correct configuration, it is recommended to refer to the help section, which will avoid mistakes and wasting time on selecting the optimal configuration. The available tools and used security mechanisms are described. Recommendations are given to ensure reliable protection and differences between encryption algorithms.
