Additionally, a 64-bit optimized assembly implementation of Twofish and Camelia is included in VeraCrypt 1.20 which makes Camelia 2.5 times faster if AES-NI is supported by the processor, or 30% faster if it is not.

The developers have improved the implementation for Sha-512 and Sha256 which results in a 33% speed increase on 64-bit systems. The new VeraCrypt 1.20 comes with 64-bit processor optimizations for all supported operating systems. The software is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, and also open source. VeraCrypt is based on TrueCrypt source code, and compatible with encrypted containers and drives as a consequence. It is relatively lightweight, and has an easy to use interface.The encryption software was one of the programs that came to life after the developers of the open source encryption software TrueCryptÂ stopped development under mysterious circumstances. VeraCrypt has been specifically designed to give you better security with the data you want to encrypt. It adds enhanced security to the algorithms used for system and partitions encryption making it immune to new developments in brute-force attacks. VeraCrypt is a free disk encryption software based on TrueCrypt 7.1a. file names, folder names, contents of every file, free space, meta data, etc) to give you as much security as possible. The entire file system is encrypted (e.g. This is a very secure method of data encryption as any data that is stored on an encrypted volume cannot be read (decrypted) without using the correct password/keyfile(s) or correct encryption keys. 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. VeraCrypt is a great application to establish and maintain an on-the-fly-encrypted volume.
