StrongCrypt

StrongCrypt is a on the fly transparent disk encryption program for MS Windows Vista/7/8/8.1/10 (32 and 64 Bit)

Using this software, you can create one or more "virtual disks" on your computer - anything written to these disks is automatically, and securely, encrypted before being stored on your computers hard drive.

This software is based on FreeOTFE and/or FreeOTFE4PDA, the free disk encryption system for PCs and PDAs, available at www.FreeOTFE.org

Features

  • Source code freely available
  • Easy to use; full wizard included for creating new volumes
  • Hash algorithms include: Whirlpool, SHA-512, RIPEMD and many more
  • Cyphers include: AES (256 bit), Twofish (256 bit), Serpent (256 bit) and many more
  • Cypher modes supported include: XTS and CBC
  • Linux compatibility (dm-crypt and LUKS supported)
  • Hidden volumes , providing "plausible deniability"
  • StrongCrypt volumes have no "signature" to allow them to be identified as such
  • Encrypted volumes can be either file or partition based.
  • Modular design allowing 3rd party drivers to be created, incorporating new hash/cypher algorithms
  • Supports password salting (up to 512 bits), reducing the risks presented by dictionary attacks.

  • Portable mode included
