25 May, 2009 7:45 am TrueCrypt - free open source encryption software [sdp=96726]

I was reading somewhere and saw a mention about TrueCrypt

.

According to its website, TrueCrypt - is a free open source disk encryption software for Mac OS X, Windows XP/Vista and Linux.

Quote:

Main Features:
* Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk.
* Encrypts an entire partition or storage device such as USB flash drive or hard drive.
* Encrypts a partition or drive where Windows is installed (pre-boot authentication).
* Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent.
* Provides plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password:
Hidden volume (steganography) and hidden operating system.
* Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Serpent, and Twofish. Mode of operation: XTS.

Has anyone tried it? or heard of it?
