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
