Hi, I'm trying to transition from the dead project FreeOTFE to one still developped, but I'm encountering a problem when I'm trying to decrypt my encrypted drive with ProxyCrypt.
ProxyCrypt seems to recognize the encrypted drive, but when I'm entering the same password that I enter in FreeOTFE, it gives an error.
So I'm wondering whether ProxyCrypt can decrypt this drive?
Here's the output:
C:\ProxyCryptGUI2025\exe>ProxyCrypt.exe -d 2, -p 0 -v 2
AES instructions detected.
Uses 8 threads for encryption/decryption.
Sector size: 512.
Total size: 2 000 398 934 016 bytes.
2 000 398 934 016 bytes used from offset 0.
? Read: 8192 bytes at offset 0
Enter password:
**************
Checking password... Error. Please retry.
I'm not sure with which options the drive was encrypted, in FreeOTFE I see these settings for the drive:
Cipher: AES, Mode: XTS, Keysize: 256, blockhain: 128, Sector IV: null
And when encrypting a new file, these settings are used by default (which I assume I used):
Hash: SHA-512, Cypher: AES (256bits XTS), Sector IVs: null
Possibly it's the Hash causing a problem?
Though I tested with a volumefile created by FreeOTFE and Whirlpool hash, but here the same problem.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Each encryption software has its own protocols. ProxyCrypt can only decrypt the volumes it has created.
Of course, some softwares can decrypt data from other softwares, but it must be explicitly specified. But this type of compatibility is not very common, especially for disk encryption, because it's difficult to implement while keeping performance and reliability.
