Publisher's description

Free open-source disk encryption software for Windows XP/2000/2003 and Linux

Main Features:

Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk.
Encrypts an entire hard disk partition or a device, such as USB flash drive.
Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent.
Provides two levels of plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password:
Hidden volume (steganography Ã¢â?¬â?? more information may be found here).
No TrueCrypt volume can be identified (volumes cannot be distinguished from random data).
Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Blowfish (448-bit key), CAST5, Serpent, Triple DES, and Twofish. Mode of operation: LRW (CBC supported as legacy).

What's new in this version:

Resolved incompatibilities / bug fixes:

On systems where certain inappropriately designed chipset drivers were installed, it was impossible to encrypt the system partition/drive. This will no longer occur. (Windows Vista/XP/2008/2003)
Other minor bug fixes. (Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux)

Anti-Executable with Application Whitelisting

If your BlackBerry is missing these essential apps, you're missing out.
