"Protect your sensitive data with this free open-source
disk encryption software. Creates a virtual encrypted disk
within a file and mount it as a real disk. Encrypt an entire
hard disk partition or a device, such as USB flash drive.
Automatically and transparently encrypt in real time.
TrueCrypt provides two levels of plausible deniability, in
case an adversary forces you to reveal the password: a
hidden volume (steganography- more information may be found
here); no TrueCrypt volume can be identified (volumes cannot
be distinguished from random data). TrueCrypt uses
encryption algorithms AES-256, Blowfish (448-bit key),
CAST5, Serpent, Triple DES, and Twofish. It is based on
Encryption for the Masses (E4M) 2.02a, conceived in 1997."
