TrueCrypt for Mac

TrueCrypt is a free disk encryption software that aims to protect your data from unauthorized access. With its on-the-fly encryption feature, TrueCrypt automatically encrypts and decrypts data as it is loaded or saved, ensuring that your files and folders remain secure. It encrypts entire file systems, including file names, folder names, file contents, and free disk space.

One of the advantages of TrueCrypt is its user-friendly interface. It allows you to drag and drop files without any delay or inconvenience. Additionally, TrueCrypt never saves any decrypted data to a disk, only storing them temporarily in your RAM. This adds an extra layer of security, as the volume is dismounted, and files become inaccessible and encrypted when you restart your Mac or turn off your computer.

TrueCrypt provides a step-by-step encryption process through a convenient wizard. Simply select the volume you want to encrypt and click "Create Volume" to create an encrypted TrueCrypt container. However, it's important to note that if you choose an existing file, TrueCrypt will delete it and replace it with a container.

Overall, TrueCrypt is a powerful and user-friendly disk encryption software suitable for both beginners and advanced users who want to protect their data.
