TrueCrypt is a software system for establishing and maintaining an on-the-fly-encrypted volume (data storage device).
Features of TrueCrypt 7.0 :
· It can create a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mount it as a real disk.
· It can encrypt an entire hard disk partition or a device, such as USB memory stick, floppy disk, etc.
· Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent.
· Provides two levels of plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password:
1) Hidden volume (more information may be found here).
2) No TrueCrypt volume can be identified (TrueCrypt volumes cannot be distinguished from random data).
· Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Serpent, and Twofish. Mode of operation: XTS.
Important Note: Public Key
This key can be used to verify the authenticity of the TrueCrypt binary and source code distribution archives. Links to public-keyencryption software that can be used to verify digital signatures may be found here.

What's New in TrueCrypt 7.0 :
• New features:
· Full support for Windows 7.
· The ability to configure selected volumes as 'system favorite volumes'. This is useful, for example, when you have volumes that need to be mounted before system and application services start and before users start logging on. It is also useful when there are network-shared folders located on a TrueCrypt volume and you need to ensure that the network shares will be restored by the system each time it is restarted. For more information, see the chapter 'Main Program Window', section 'Program Menu', subsection 'Volumes -> Save Currently Mounted Volumes as Favorite' in the documentation.
• Improvements and bug fixes:
· 'Favorite' volumes residing within partitions or dynamic volumes will no longer be affected by changes in disk device numbers, which may occur, e.g., when a drive is removed or added.
· Many other minor improvements and bug fixes.
