| Hans-G?nter@25099 | 5 VeraCrypt main features: |
| Hans-G?nter@25099 | 6 * Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as |
| Hans-G?nter@25099 | 7 a real disk. |
| Hans-G?nter@25099 | 8 * Encrypts an entire partition or storage device such as USB flash drive |
| Hans-G?nter@25099 | 9 or hard drive. |
| Hans-G?nter@25099 | 10 * Encrypts a partition or drive where Windows is installed |
| Hans-G?nter@25099 | 11 (pre-boot authentication). |
| Hans-G?nter@25099 | 12 * Encryption is automatic, real-time(on-the-fly) and transparent. |
| Hans-G?nter@25099 | 13 * Parallelisation and pipelining allow data to be read and written as fast |
| Hans-G?nter@25099 | 14 as if the drive was not encrypted. |
| Hans-G?nter@25099 | 15 * Encryption can be hardware-accelerated on modern processors. |
| Hans-G?nter@25099 | 16 * Provides plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal |
| Hans-G?nter@25099 | 17 the password: Hidden volume (steganography) and hidden operating system. |
