Supports encrypting both virtual data volumes (lets you create virtual disk partitions) and actual partitions. Let’s have a look at some of the features…
But then again these days computers are quite powerful so if you have a powerful computer then this might not necessarily be a valid truth anymore.Īnyway, if you’re looking for a powerful software based data encryption utility that comes absolutely free and runs on GNU/Linux, MS Windows and Mac OSX (cross-platform) then TrueCrypt is certainly one of the best tools that I’ve been using for a long time. Hardware encryption might have a an advantage of being a bit faster (the encryption process) because that hardware is designed and optimized for that task. Some say Hardware encryption is better than the Software version but others disagree. Either into Hardware encryption (independent of the OS because the encrypting tool is located on a physical chip) or Software encryption (runs on top of the OS). And normally data encryption can be divided into two main categories.
Data encryption is one of the best ways of protecting your sensitive data from data thefts and other security vulnerabilities.
