VeraCrypt

VeraCrypt — программное обеспечение, используемое для шифрования «на лету». VeraCrypt является бесплатным и открытым проектом, который был начат 22 июня 2013 года в качестве форка TrueCrypt.

VeraCrypt может использовать следующие алгоритмы шифрования: AES, Serpent, Twofish, Camellia, Кузнечик, а также комбинации этих алгоритмов.

Используемые криптографические хэш-функции: RIPEMD-160, SHA-256, SHA-512, Стрибог и Whirlpool.

VeraCrypt is a free and open-source utility used for on-the-fly encryption (OTFE). It can create a virtual encrypted disk within a file or encrypt a partition[6] or (in Windows) the entire storage device with pre-boot authentication.

VeraCrypt is a fork of the discontinued TrueCrypt project. It was initially released on 22 June 2013 and has produced its latest release (version 1.23) on Wednesday 12 September 2018. Many security improvements have been implemented and issues raised by TrueCrypt code audits have been fixed. VeraCrypt includes optimized implementations of cryptographic hash functions and ciphers which boost performance on modern CPUs.

Individual ciphers supported by VeraCrypt are AES, Serpent, Twofish, Camellia, and Kuznyechik. The Magma cipher was removed in version 1.19 in response to a security audit. Additionally, ten different combinations of cascaded algorithms are available: AES–Twofish, AES–Twofish–Serpent, Camellia–Kuznyechik, Camellia–Serpent, Kuznyechik–AES, Kuznyechik–Serpent–Camellia, Kuznyechik–Twofish, Serpent–AES, Serpent–Twofish–AES, and Twofish–Serpent. The cryptographic hash functions available for use in VeraCrypt are RIPEMD-160, SHA-256, SHA-512, Streebog and Whirlpool.
