The successor to TrueCrypt for full-disk and container encryption — battle-tested, cross-platform, and completely free, but a single-purpose tool that does not address broader device security.
This toolkit is for informational purposes. Security needs vary by situation. No tool guarantees complete privacy or anonymity.
Industry-standard disk encryption supporting AES, Serpent, and Twofish with cascading options; audited and proven secure.
A disk encryption tool that provides no anonymity features — it protects data at rest but does not mask identity or activity.
Fully open source successor to TrueCrypt; source code audited by OSTIF/QuarksLab with no critical vulnerabilities found.
Developed by IDRIX in France; open source nature reduces jurisdiction risk, but France is in the Nine Eyes alliance.
Built on TrueCrypt's 15+ year legacy; VeraCrypt itself audited and maintained since 2013 with no known cryptographic breaks.
Functional GUI on desktop but full-disk encryption setup is involved; hidden volumes add complexity for plausible deniability.
Windows, Mac, and Linux support; no mobile apps, limiting utility for phone-based workflows.
Completely free and open source; no account, subscription, or identity needed to download and use.
