DiskCryptor is an open encryption solution that offers encryption of all disk partitions, including the system partition. The fact of openess goes in sharp contrast with the current situation, where most of the software with comparable functionality is completely proprietary, which makes it unacceptable to use for protection of confidential data.

You would be prompted to install DiskCryptor\'s driver and Reboot your system. After the reboot you can start to use the program. The update of the program to a newer version could be performed in the same way ( dccon -update console command).

After the computer is started and the user enters a password, Diskcryptor allows chainloading of partitions that are encrypted with the password that was entered, as well as chainloading of unencrypted partitions. Diskcryptor supports chainloading of multiple partitions sequentially.

DiskCryptor incorporates only conceptual security models for data protection, that are based on a reliable and well-studied algorithms. Future versions are planned to have an option for secure partition deletion, that can be used for data destruction before an adversary can gain access to it.

DiskCryptor console version command switches. Beginning from the DiskCryptor version 0.3, in addition to the graphical user interface (GUI), the program also has the command line interface dccon.exe, allowing for the control of most of the program\'s functions.

DiskCryptor supports AES-256, Twofish and Serpent encryption algorithms. Extra cautions users can also choose to use a combination of cascaded algorithms, which would keep data safe even in case if one of the algorithms would be broken.

First what is BitLocker. BitLocker is a logical volume encryption feature included with Microsoft Windows (Pro and Enterprise/Education versions) starting with Windows Vista. It is designed to protect data by providing encryption for entire volumes. On older versions of windows like vista and 7 this feature can only work with a TPM-Chip.

Encrypted DiskCryptor partition does not have visible signatures or any other identifiable data. Without knowing the proper password it is indistinguishable from random numbers, and the structure of the partition can only be discovered by providing right password.

In this article I am going to tell about the operating principles and characteristic properties of Random Number Generator (RNG) used in the DiskCryptor. RNG - this is a critically important security element of a disk encryption system, as it generates the …
