ON-THE-FLY
ENCRYPTION FOR WINDOWS
Version 1.0. Released February 2, 2004
Introduction:
TrueCrypt is a software system for establishing and maintaining an
on-the-fly-encrypted volume (data storage device). On-the-fly encryption
means that data are automatically encrypted ordecrypted right before they
are loaded or saved, without any user intervention. No data stored on an
encrypted volume can be read without using the correct password or
encryption key. Until decrypted, encrypted volume appears to be nothing more
than a series of random numbers. Entire file system is encrypted (i.e. file
names, folder names, contents of every file, and free space). No unencrypted
data are ever stored on any storage device (they are only temporarily kept
in RAM during the encryption/decryption process).
TrueCrypt Volume:
There are two basic types of TrueCrypt volumes:
. Container
. Partition/device
A TrueCrypt container is a normal file, which can reside on any type of
storage device. It contains (hosts) a completely independent encrypted
virtual disk device. Container is a file-hosted volume.
A TrueCrypt partition is a hard disk partition encrypted using TrueCrypt.
You can also encrypt floppy disks, ZIP disks, USB hard disks and other types
of storage devices that allow read/write access.
NOTE! (Maximum TrueCrypt volume size is a whopping: 18,446,744,073 GB !)
Plausible Deniability:
It is impossible to identify a TrueCrypt container or partition. Until
decrypted, a TrueCrypt volume appears to consist of nothing more than random
data (it does not contain any "signature"). Therefore, it is impossible to
prove that a file, a partition or a device is a TrueCrypt volume and/or that
it has been encrypted.
Supported Operating Systems:
TrueCrypt runs on the following operating systems:
Windows 2003 . Windows XP . Windows 2000 . Windows ME . Windows 98
