TrueCrypt 4.3a - Create Virtual Encrypted Disks

TrueCrypt 4.3a (Windows, Freeware, 1.39MB) [download via SnapFiles] is an open-source encryption software that enables you to create a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mount it as a virtual disk, that can be accessed via a drive letter. Any file that is stored on this virtual drive is automatically encrypted on-the-fly, and can only be accessed while the drive is mounted with the correct password or key.

TrueCrypt supports a variety of encryption algorithms, including AES-256, Blowfish (448-bit key), CAST5, Serpent, Triple DES, and Twofish. Other features include support for FAT32 or NTFS formatting, hidden volumes, hotkeys for mounting/dismounting and more.

Also available for Linux.

Changes:

  • Full support for custom screen DPI settings. (Windows, GUI)
  • Other minor improvements. (Windows and Linux)
  • Fixed bug that in some cases caused the 'Safely Remove Hardware' function to fail.
  • In Windows Vista, it is now possible to read data from file-hosted TrueCrypt volumes located on UDF-formatted media mounted in read-only mode.
  • All Volume Creation Wizard GUI elements are now correctly displayed on systems with custom DPI settings. (Windows, GUI)
  • And more security fixes.
