Download VeraCrypt 1.0e

VeraCrypt is a so-called fork of TrueCrypt, which was discontinued in May of this year under rather vague circumstances. This open source encryption program can encrypt entire hard drives or partitions, and virtual volumes, such as a file accessed as a partition. VeraCrypt uses the original source code of TrueCrypt, but includes several security improvements. Volumes created with TrueCrypt are therefore not compatible with VeraCrypt. The Frenchman Mounir Idrassi has been working on it since the summer of 2013, and version 1.0e was released last month.

Changes between 1.0d and 1.0e (04 September 2014):

• Correct most of the security vulnerabilities reported by the Open Crypto Audit Project.
• Correct security issues detected by Static Code Analysis, mainly under Windows.
• Correct issue of unresponsiveness when changing password/key file of a volume. Reduce overall time taken for creating encrypted volume/partition.
• Minor fixes (look at git history for more details).

Changes between 1.0c and 1.0d (03 June 2014):

• Correct issue while creating hidden operating system.
• Minor fixes (look at git history for more details).

Changes between 1.0b and 1.0c (11 November 2013):

• Set correctly the minimum required version in volumes header.
• This also solves also the hidden volume issue

Changes between 1.0a and 1.0b (25 June 2013):

• Enhance RIPEMD160 implementation in BootLoaded by using the compiler uint32 type
• Don’t position legacy flag in volume header for newer VeraCrypt releases
