Publisher's Description
From Sarah Dean:
FreeOTFE4PDA is a free, open source, "on-the-fly" (OTFE) transparent disk encryption program.Using this software, you can create one or more "virtual memory cards" on your PDA - anything written to which will be automatically, and securely, encrypted before being stored. Features include: Source code freely available; Easy to use; full wizard included for creating new volumes; Powerful: Supports numerous hash/encryption algorithms, and provides a greater 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); "Hidden" volumes may be concealed within other FreeOTFE volumes, providing "plausible deniability"; Encrypted volumes have no "signature" to allow them to be identified as such; Modular design allowing 3rd party drivers to be created, incorporating new hash/cypher algorithms; Supports password salting (up to 512 bits), reducing the risks presented by dictionary attacks; 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". Version 3.76 adds an option to enable/disable hash/cypher drivers from the user and has driver code refactored and drivers moved into "DLL" subdirectory.
What's new in this version: Version 3.76 adds an option to enable/disable hash/cypher drivers from the user and has driver code refactored and drivers moved into "DLL" subdirectory.

Summary
This software is pretty good! You use it to create a "virtual storage card" which works EXACTLY like a normal storage card (e.g. an SD card).
I store all my private documents, pictures, files, etc on it by simply copying them over - and when I want to secure my them I simply tell FreeOTFE4PDA to "dismount" the storage card it created.
All encryption and decryption is carried out in the background, without user intervention, and there's a PC version which is fully compatible with it as well! -
