#VERACRYPT REVIEW UPDATE#

Reduce the size of EXE installers by almost 50% by using LZMA compression instead of DEFLATE.

Don't cache the outer volume password when mounting with hidden volume protection if wrong hidden volume password was specified.

Fix failure to create Traveler Disk when VeraCrypt is installed using MSI.

Set minimum support for MSI installation to Windows 7.

Make MSI installer compatible with system encryption.

This is acceptable to the legitimate owner but it makes it much more harder for an attacker to gain access to the encrypted data. This enhanced security adds some delay only to the opening of encrypted partitions without any performance impact to the application use phase. And for standard containers and other partitions, TrueCrypt uses at most 2000 iterations but VeraCrypt uses 655331 for RIPEMD100 iterations for SHA-2 and Whirlpool. For example, when the system partition is encrypted, TrueCrypt uses PBKDF2-RIPEMD160 with 1000 iterations whereas in VeraCrypt we use 327661. VeraCrypt adds enhanced security to the algorithms used for system and partitions encryption making it immune to new developments in brute-force attacks. Provides plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password: Hidden volume (steganography) and hidden operating system.Encryption can be hardware-accelerated on modern processors.Parallelization and pipelining allow data to be read and written as fast as if the drive was not encrypted.Encryption is automatic, real-time(on-the-fly) and transparent.Encrypts a partition or drive where Windows is installed (pre-boot authentication).Encrypts an entire partition or storage device such as USB flash drive or hard drive.Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk.VeraCrypt also solves many vulnerabilities and security issues found in TrueCrypt.
