TrueCrypt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Free open-source disk encryption software for Windows Vista/XP, Mac OS X,
|
||
|
|
and Linux Main Features:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as
|
||
|
|
a real disk.
|
||
|
|
* Encrypts an entire partition or storage device such as USB flash drive
|
||
|
|
or hard drive.
|
||
|
|
* Encrypts a partition or drive where Windows is installed (pre-boot
|
||
|
|
authentication).
|
||
|
|
* Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent.
|
||
|
|
* Parallelization and pipelining allow data to be read and written as
|
||
|
|
fast as if the drive was not encrypted.
|
||
|
|
* Provides plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to
|
||
|
|
reveal the password:
|
||
|
|
Hidden volume (steganography) and hidden operating system.
|
||
|
|
* Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Serpent, and Twofish. Mode of
|
||
|
|
operation: XTS.
|
||
|
|

Further information regarding features of the software may be found in
|
||
|
|
the documentation.

Since version 6.1a of TrueCrypt, a number of header files from RSA
|
||
|
|
Laboratories are required during the compilation. I've separated the
|
||
|
|
installation of these into a separate package called cryptoki rather
|
||
|
|
than have this script extract a separate, isolated archive.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Thus, to build this version of TrueCrypt, you also need cryptoki,
|
||
|
|
and to run Truecrypt you need wxGTK. Both are available at
|
||
|
|
SlackBuilds.org.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This script does not create the static GUI build seen elsewhere (see
|
||
|
|
above for required runtime dependency of wxGTK or similar).
