Is a lot better in my opinion, more encryption methods available for stronger
keys, also traveler mode so you don't have to install to use the software.
The extra security of hidden volumes is also a brilliant feature.
Very nice app.
Cheers

Thx for the hint, I always find your download picks interesting!
What is the difference between truecrypt and Windows EFS, except the more
obvious fact that WinEFS doesn't run on linux?

Subject: [windows2000] Download Pick: TrueCrypt, Open Source Drive Encryption
Have you ever wanted to encrypt your USB stick or your laptop hard drive in
case it got lost? TrueCrypt is a Free Open source solution.
TrueCrypt is an open source disk encryption software for Windows 2000/XP/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 storage device such as USB
flash drive.
* Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent.
* Provides two levels of plausible
<http://thinhelp.com/docs/?s=plausible-deniability> deniability, in case an
adversary forces you to reveal the password:
1) Hidden <http://thinhelp.com/hiddenvolume.php> volume (steganography * more
information may be found <http://thinhelp.com/docs/?s=hidden-volume> here).
2) No TrueCrypt volume can be identified (volumes cannot be distinguished from
random data).
* <http://thinhelp.com/docs/?s=encryption-algorithms> Encryption
algorithms: <http://thinhelp.com/docs/?s=aes> AES-256,
<http://thinhelp.com/docs/?s=blowfish> Blowfish (448-bit key),
<http://thinhelp.com/docs/?s=cast5> CAST5,
<http://thinhelp.com/docs/?s=serpent> Serpent,
<http://thinhelp.com/docs/?s=triple-des> Triple DES, and
<http://thinhelp.com/docs/?s=twofish> Twofish.
Mode of operation: <http://thinhelp.com/docs/?s=modes-of-operation> LRW (CBC
supported as legacy).
