Publisher's Description
 |
 |
 |
FreeOTFE is a free, open source, "on-the-fly" transparent disk encryption program for PCs and PDAs (Windows Mobile 2003/2005).
Using this software, you can create one or more "virtual disks" on your PC/PDA - anything written to these disks is transparently, and securely, encrypted before being stored on your computerīs hard drive.
Features:
- 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 doesnīt 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
- Decryption software available to improve transparency, and allow even the most junior software engineer to prove data is being encrypted correctly
- 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)
- Naturally, fully supported by SecureTrayUtil.

FreeOTFE doesn't need administrator rights once installed.
It's got a *much* more usable interface than truecrypt as well
