Product Description
FreeOTFE is a free, open source, "on-the-fly" (OTFE) transparent disk
encryption program.
Using this software, you can create one or more "virtual disks" on
your PC - anything written to which will be automatically, and
securely, encrypted before being stored.
Here are some key features of "FreeOTFE":
¡¤ Highly portable - Not only does FreeOTFE offer "portable mode",
eliminating the need for it to be installed before use, it also offers
FreeOTFE Explorer - a system which allows FreeOTFE volumes to be
accessed not only without installing any software, but also on PCs
where no administrator rights are available. This makes it ideal for
use (for example) with USB flash drives, and when visiting Internet
Caf¨¦s (AKA Cybercaf¨¦s), where PCs are available for use, but only as
a "standard" user.
¡¤ Source code freely available.
¡¤ Easy to use; full wizard included for creating new volumes.
¡¤ Data encrypted on your PC can be read/written on your PDA, and vice versa.
¡¤ Powerful: Supports numerous hash/encryption algorithms, and
provides a greater level of flexibility than a number of other
(including commercial!) OTFE systems.
¡¤ Hash algorithms include: SHA-512, RIPEMD-160, Tiger and many more.
¡¤ Cyphers include AES (256 bit), Twofish (256 bit), Blowfish (448
bit), Serpent (256 bit) and many more.
¡¤ Linux compatibility (Cryptoloop "losetup", dm-crypt and LUKS supported).
¡¤ "Hidden" volumes may be concealed within other FreeOTFE volumes,
providing "plausible deniability".
¡¤ Encrypted volumes can be either file or partition based.
¡¤ Modular design allowing 3rd party drivers to be created,
incorporating new hash/cypher algorithms.
¡¤ Keyfile support included; store volumes and their associated
metadata separately.
¡¤ Volume file timestamps and attributes are reset after dismounting,
increasing "plausible deniability".
