About
VeraCrypt creates encrypted file containers and encrypts partitions or drives, with the same vault usable on Linux, Windows, and macOS — which makes it ideal for encrypted USB drives that travel between systems. It’s the audited continuation of TrueCrypt with hardened key derivation, hidden volumes for plausible deniability, and no corporate key escrow.
On Linux, full-system encryption is better served by LUKS (set up at install time) — VeraCrypt’s system encryption is a Windows feature. Mounting requires the app and a password each time, so it’s deliberate-use encryption rather than transparent. Development is conservative and releases are infrequent, which for crypto software is arguably a feature.
