Download VeraCrypt 1.23
Version 1.23 of VeraCrypt has been released. VeraCrypt is a fork from TrueCrypt which stopped a while ago . With this open source encryption program, complete hard disks or partitions and virtual volumes, such as a file that is accessed as a partition, can be encrypted. VeraCrypt uses the original source code from TrueCrypt, but contains various improvements in security. Volumes created with TrueCrypt can be opened and converted from this version. The Frenchman Mounir Idrassi has been working on this project since the summer of 2013. The changelog for this release can be found below.
