About VeraCrypt
VeraCrypt creates and maintains encrypted storage volumes on Windows, macOS, and Linux. An encrypted volume can be mounted as a virtual drive, with data encrypted when saved and decrypted when read. The product can encrypt a filesystem, including file and folder names, contents, and metadata, and requires the correct password, keyfiles, or encryption keys to access the stored data. This provides a way to keep files in an encrypted container or protect an entire storage volume. The supplied information does not detail supported encryption algorithms, recovery options, or performance. Users need to protect credentials and backups, since access depends on valid keys. VeraCrypt’s role is on-the-fly disk encryption across desktop platforms.
