Secure Encryption of Data
Posted in Encryption on July 23rd, 2008 by admin – Be the first to commentSecure data encryption - is it as hard as it sounds? No, not at all. Whatever your OS might be, Mac OS X, Linux, or maybe even the worst case, Windows, you are still safe when using TrueCrypt. It is a free software, it is opensource, and extremely easy to use. It has more options than most of the free software you might stumble upon - and that is the beauty of it.
It even offers “Plausible deniability” - if somebody forces you to give up the key by torture or threats, you can still be secure by giving up a false key to a false data, so to speak - you can read about it here - http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/plausible-deniability.php
The basic functionality of the software is to encrypt all your data including the OS, and asking for a password to boot up and decrypt in real time, or create a virtual volume where your secret data will reside. It is all clickable and easy to set up, so just give it a try.
