VeraCrypt is a software for establishing and maintaining an on-the-fly-encrypted volume (data storage device). On-the-fly encryption means that data is automatically encrypted right before it is saved and decrypted right after it is loaded, without any user intervention. No data stored on an encrypted volume can be read (decrypted) without using the correct password/keyfile(s) or correct encryption keys. Entire file system is encrypted (e.g., file names, folder names, contents of every file, free space, meta data, etc). Files can be copied to and from a mounted VeraCrypt volume just like they are copied to/from any normal disk (for example, by simple drag-and-drop operations). Files are automatically being decrypted on the fly (in memory/RAM) while they are being read or copied from an encrypted VeraCrypt volume. Similarly, files that are being written or copied to the VeraCrypt volume are automatically being encrypted on the fly (right before they are written to the disk) in RAM. Note that this does not mean that the whole file that is to be encrypted/decrypted must be stored in RAM before it can be encrypted/decrypted. There are no extra memory (RAM) requirements for VeraCrypt.

VeraCrypt is a software designed to establish and maintain on-the-fly encrypted volumes, providing robust protection for sensitive data. It ensures that all information stored within an encrypted volume remains securely protected, with automatic encryption and decryption processes occurring seamlessly in the background.

Key Features: VeraCrypt offers on-the-fly encryption, encrypting data before it is saved and decrypting it immediately upon access. The entire file system is safeguarded, including file names, folder structures, file contents, free space, metadata, and more. Users can easily interact with encrypted files as if they were on a normal drive, with drag-and-drop functionality and automatic encryption/decryption in memory without requiring additional RAM.

Audience & Benefit: Ideal for individuals and organizations needing secure data storage, VeraCrypt ensures that sensitive information remains confidential and inaccessible without the correct credentials. It provides a reliable solution for protecting privacy and sensitive data while maintaining efficient performance. VeraCrypt can be installed via winget.
