FreeOTFE

FreeOTFE is a free, open source, "on-the-fly" (OTFE) transparent disk encryption program. Using this software, you can create one or more "virtual disks" on your PC - 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. - Data encrypted on your PC can be read/written on your PDA, and vice versa. - 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) and many more. - "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! - Operates under both PC (MS Windows 2000/XP) and PDA (Windows Mobile 2003/2005) 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. - 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). - Plus more...! This is a freeware listed under security, privacy encryption tools category.

FreeOTFE Explorer

FreeOTFE Explorer allows encrypted volumes to be mounted on MS Windows PCs, and their contents accessed (both reading and writing) via a Windows Explorer-style user interface. Unlike all other disk encryption systems, FreeOTFE Explorer does not need any device drivers to be installed on the computer it is run on, making it perfect for use with USB drives (and other removable media), where volumes need to be accessed on PCs where FreeOTFE hasn't been installed, and administrator rights are not available to the user in order to start FreeOTFE in "portable mode". For example, in Internet Cafés (AKA Cybercafés), where PCs are available for use, but only as a "standard" user. Features include: - Driverless operation - making it ideal for carrying your data securely on USB drives or other removable media. - Fully compatibile with FreeOTFE on-the-fly disk encryption - No installation needed - 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 - Available in English, German, Italian, French and Spanish - Hash algorithms include: 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 - Security tokens/smartcards supported for extra (optional) security - Operates under both PC (MS Windows 2000/XP/Vista) 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 encrypted volumes, providing "plausible deniability" - Modular design allowing 3rd party drivers to be created, incorporating new hash/cypher algorithms - Allows users to backup and restore the critical areas of volume files. - Keyfile support included; store volumes and their associated metadata separately. - Plus more...! This is a freeware listed under security, privacy encryption tools category.

FreeOTFE4PDA

Encryption software FreeOTFE4PDA is a free, open source, "on-the-fly" (OTFE) transparent disk encryption program.
