DiskCryptor is the only truly free disk encryption solution for Windows, provided under GNU General Public License (GPLv3), which offers encryption of all disk partitions, including the system partition. The application can encrypt hard disks, partitions, pen drives or CD / DVD, having a very low impact on performance. If you want to keep your data private, you should really try this application!On the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU, data encryption speed amounts to 104Mb/s per core. The maximum speed of reading the data from a single hard disk, equals to 80Mb/s, thus consequently, one can work with up to 5 different disks without the loss of performance, when using the aforementioned type of processor.
The encryption is performed on AES, Twofish, AES-Twofish, Serpent, Serpent-AES and others, so we will not be short in terms of security options. That if, in the case of CD / DVD and USB flash drives, one must bear in mind that to take them to another site and to use them, there also need to have installed DiskCryptor.
Features:
* Disk partition encryption of any configuration, including boot and system partitions.
* Choice to select an encryption algorithm: AES, Twofish or Serpent. Cascaded modes are available as well.
* Full support for dynamic disks.
* Full support for encryption of external USB storage devices.
* Ability to create encrypted CD's and DVD's.
* High encryption performance, comparable to efficiency of a non-encrypted system.
* Support for hardware cryptography found in VIA processors.
* Support for disk devices with large sector sizes, which is important when working with hardware RAID.
* Automatic mount of disk partitions and external storage devices.
* Extended configuration possibilities of booting an encrypted OS. Support for different multi-boot scenarios.
* Full support for 3rd party boot loaders (LILO, GRUB, etc.).
* Ability to place boot loader on external medium and to authenticate using the key medium.
* Support for key files.
* Support for hotkeys to dismount partitions, initiate emergency system stop, etc.
* Additional (to GUI) command-line interface (CLI).
DiskCryptor runs on Windows 2000 SP0-SP4, Windows XP (x86, x64) SP0-SP3, Windows Server 2003 (x86, x64) SP0-SP2, Windows Vista (x86, x64) SP0-SP2, Windows Server 2008 (x86, x64) RTM (SP1), SP2, Windows 7 (x86, x64).
Note: when encrypting your boot partition, only use [A-Z], [a-z] and [0-9] characters.
