DiskCryptor
- fully open solution to encrypt all partitions, including system. The
program is a replacement for proprietary DriveCrypt Plus pack and PGP
WDE. The only alternative to DiskCryptor that has comparable features is
TrueCrypt. There are other alternatives with similar functionality, but
they are fully proprietary ones, which makes them unacceptable to use
for protection of confidential data.Originally, DiskCryptor was
conceived as a replacement for DriveCrypt Plus Pack and PGP Whole Disk
Encryption (WDE). Now, however, the aim of the development of the
project is to create the best product in its category.
Encryption of system and bootable partitions with pre-boot authentication:
· Full support for dynamic disks.
· Support for disk devices with large sector size, which is important for hardware RAID operation.
· Automatic mounting of disk partitions and external storage devices.
· Broad choice in configuration of booting an encrypted OS. Support for various multi-boot options.
High performance, comparable to efficiency of a non-encrypted system:
· Support for hardware cryptography on VIA processors (PadLock extensions for hardware AES acceleration).
· Support for hardware AES acceleration (AES-NI instruction set) on new Intel CPUs.
Full support for external storage devices. Full compatibility with third party boot loaders (LILO, GRUB, etc.) Transparent encryption of disk partitions.
