[h=3]DiskCryptor - Encrypt your partitions[/h]

Encrypting your documents protects them from prying eyes if your computer becomes lost or stolen. However, you shouldn’t stop at just encrypting your sensitive documents. A thief can recover passwords and other sensitive information stored by Windows. Even if you password-protect your Windows account, your system files can still be easily accessed, for example, from a Linux-based LiveCD.

DiskCryptor - fully open solution to encrypt all partitions, including system. The program is a replacement for proprietary DriveCrypt Plus pack and PGP WDE. The only alternative to DiskCryptor that has comparable features is TrueCrypt. There are other alternatives with similar functionality, but they are fully proprietary ones, which makes them unacceptable to use for protection of confidential data.Originally, DiskCryptor was conceived as a replacement for DriveCrypt Plus Pack and PGP Whole Disk Encryption (WDE). Now, however, the aim of the development of the project is to create the best product in its category.

Features of "DiskCryptor"

Encryption of system and bootable partitions with pre-boot authentication:

· Full support for dynamic disks.

· Support for disk devices with large sector size, which is important for hardware RAID operation.

· Automatic mounting of disk partitions and external storage devices.

· Broad choice in configuration of booting an encrypted OS. Support for various multi-boot options.

High performance, comparable to efficiency of a non-encrypted system:

· Support for hardware cryptography on VIA processors (PadLock extensions for hardware AES acceleration).

· Support for hardware AES acceleration (AES-NI instruction set) on new Intel CPUs.

Transparent encryption of disk partitions:

· Choice to select an encryption algorithm (AES, Twofish, Serpent), including their combinations.

Full support for external storage devices:

· Full support for encryption of external USB storage devices.

· Option to create encrypted CD and DVD disks.
