VeraCrypt is a free disk encryption software brought to you by IDRIX (https://www.idrix.fr) and based on TrueCrypt 7.1a.
It adds enhanced security to the algorithms used for system and partitions encryption making it immune to new developments in brute-force attacks. It also solves many vulnerabilities and security issues found in TrueCrypt.
This enhanced security adds some delay ONLY to the opening of encrypted partitions without any performance impact to the application use phase. This is acceptable to the legitimate owner but it makes it much harder for an attacker to gain access to the encrypted data.
All released files are PGP signed with key ID=0x680D16DE, available on key servers and downloadable at https://www.idrix.fr/VeraCrypt/VeraCrypt_PGP_public_key.asc
VeraCrypt can mount TrueCrypt volumes. It also can convert them to VeraCrypt format.

Decryption is broken suddenly. Credentials are correct. This critical software has become unreliable. Fix the software and I'm happy to fix this informational review.

what started as a great idea to revive Truecrypt that is in great demand in the modern fascist world, immediately crashed against the incompetence of the reviver as a programmer. in its current state and for five years now the program has been inoperative on Windows due to a crookedly designed driver. program updates are merely cosmetic changes designed to create the appearance that some work is being done. any attempts to talk about this on the reviver's platforms are suppressed with truly fascist cruelty

Veracrypt lost ALL my data w/ the wonderful "file drive not accesssible" message. I found out it's an issue that several owners have also had with zero solution except reformatting. Veracrypt is 'free', you get what you pay for. 👎
