Free open-source disk encryption software for Windows XP/2000/2003 and Linux

Main Features:

* 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.

* 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, Blowfish (448-bit key), CAST5, Serpent (256-bit key), Triple DES, and Twofish (256-bit key). Mode of operation: LRW (CBC supported as legacy).

* Based on Encryption for the Masses (E4M) 2.02a, which was conceived in 1997.

Further information regarding the features of the software may be found in the documentation.

Sheesh... I've been looking for encryption software for a long time now, and little did I know it was OPEN SOURCE!
