DiskCryptor is a full disk encryption system for Microsoft Windows〔(OTFEDB entry for DiskCryptor v0.2 )〕〔(Whitepaper: Full-Disk-Encryption Crash-Course – Everything to hide ) by Jürgen Pabel〕 that allows the encryption of an entire PC's hard drive or individual partitions – including the ability to encrypt the partition and disk on which the OS is installed.〔(DiskCryptor version history )〕 DiskCryptor was originally designed to replace commercial disk encryption systems such as DriveCrypt Plus Pack and PGP Whole Disk Encryption, and uses either AES-256, Twofish, Serpent or a combination of cascaded algorithms in XTS mode to carry out encryption. The project was originally started by a former TrueCrypt user and forum member who goes by the name of 'ntldr' (anonymous). It was originally fully compatible with TrueCrypt's container format but has since improved on the format in order to allow data-in-place encryption on Windows XP, to allow the system partition to have exactly the same format as non-system partitions and to support future project plans. ==Program features== * Support for encryption algorithm AES, Twofish, Serpent, including their combinations. * * Transparent encryption of disk partitions. * * Full support for dynamic disks. * * Support for disk devices with large sector size (important for hardware RAID operation). * High performance, comparable to efficiency of a non-encrypted system. * * Support for hardware AES acceleration: * * * AES instruction set on recent Intel and AMD CPUs; * * * (PadLock extensions ) on VIA processors. * * Support for the SSD TRIM extension * Broad choice in configuration of booting an encrypted OS. Support for various multi-boot options. * * Full compatibility with third party boot loaders (LILO, GRUB, etc.). * * Encryption of system and bootable partitions with pre-boot authentication. * * Option to place boot loader on external medium and to authenticate using the key medium. * * Support for key files. * Full support for external storage devices. * * Option to create encrypted CDs and DVDs. * * Full support for encryption of external USB storage devices. * * Automatic mounting of disk partitions and external storage devices. * Support for hotkeys and optional command-line interface (CLI). * Open license GNU GPLv3.
