Description

Features

• Source code freely available
  
• Hash algorithms include: MD5, SHA-512, RIPEMD-160, and many more (with others under development...)
  
• Cyphers include AES (up to 256 bit), Twofish (up to 256 bit) and many more (again, with others under development...)
• Linux compatibility (both Cryptoloop "losetup", and dm-crypt)
• "Hidden" volumes may be concealed within other FreeOTFE volumes, providing "plausible deniability"
  
• FreeOTFE volumes have no "signature" to allow them to be identified as such
  
• Easy to use; full wizard included for creating new volumes
• "Portable mode" included; FreeOTFE doesn't need to be installed before it can be used.
• Encrypted volumes can be either file or partition based.
• Powerful: Supports numerous hash/encryption algorithms, and provides a greater level of flexibility than a number of other (including commercial!) OTFE systems
  
• Modular design allowing 3rd party drivers to be created, incorporating new hash/cypher algorithms
• Decryption software available to improve transparency, and allow even the most junior software engineer to prove data is being encrypted correctly
• Supports password salting (up to 512 bits), reducing the risks presented by dictionary attacks.
• Allows users to backup and restore the critical areas of volume files.
• Keyfile support included; store volumes and their associated metadata separately.
  
• Uses per-sector IVs.
• Volume file timestamps and attributes are reset after dismounting, increasing "plausible deniability".
• Supports volumes files up to 2^63 bytes (8388608 TB)
  
• Naturally, fully supported by SecureTrayUtil.
• Plus more...!
