FreeOTFE 5.10.00.4058 is a File Encryption product from freeotfe.org, get 4 Stars SoftSea Rating, FreeOTFE is a free, open source, "on-the-fly" transparent disk encryption software for PCs and PDAs
Using this software, you can create one or more "virtual disks" on your PC/PDA. These disks operate exactly like a normal disk, with the exception that anything written to one of them is transparently, and securely, encrypted before being stored on your computer's hard drive.
While remaining easy-to-use, FreeOTFE's features list includes:
* Source code freely available
* Easy to use; full wizard included for creating new volumes
* Data encrypted on your PC can be read/written on your PDA, and vice versa
* Powerful: Supports numerous hash/encryption algorithms, and provides a outstandinger level of flexibility than a number of other (including commercial!) OTFE systems
* Hash algorithms include: MD5, SHA-512, RIPEMD-160, Tiger and many more
* Cyphers include AES (256 bit), Twofish (256 bit), Blowfish (448 bit), Serpent (256 bit) and many more
* Cypher modes supported include XTS, LRW and CBC (including XTS-AES-128 and XTS-AES-256)
* "Portable mode" included; FreeOTFE doesn't need to be installed before it can be used - making it ideal for carrying your data securely on USB drives!
* Security tokens/smartcards supported for extra (optional) security
* Operates under both PC (MS Windows 2000/XP) and PDA (Windows Mobile 2003/2005 and Windows Mobile 6) platforms
* Linux compatibility (Cryptoloop "losetup", dm-crypt and LUKS supported)
* "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
* Encrypted volumes can be either file or partition based.
* Modular design allowing 3rd party drivers to be created, incorporating new hash/cypher algorithms
* Decryption program available to improve transparency, and allow even the most junior program 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, including support for ESSIV
* Volume file timestamps and attributes are reset after dismounting, increasing "plausible deniability"
* Supports volumes files up to 2^63 bytes (8388608 TB)
* Comprehensive documentation
* Naturally, fully supported by SecureTrayUtil. The license of this file & disk software is Freeware, you can free download and free use this File & Disk software.
