FreeOTFE 5.21.00.4058Editor's Review

" Create an encrypted virtual drive "
Have you ever needed to encrypt a disk or folder on your hard disk that only you can access?

Maybe you're trying to store confidential data or maybe you need to make sure that whatever is on the disk is not deleted. FreeOTFE is a free, open source, "on-the-fly" transparent disk encryption program for PCs and PDAs which allows you to create "virtual disks" on your PC/PDA that the developers claim are highly secure.

The disks operate like a normal disk but the difference is that everything is encrypted as soon as it is stored on there. This gives you the peace of mind that you don't need to take any further action to protect your disks. There's no installation necessary so you can carry it on a USB stick. Probably the best way to encrypt a virtual drive and then install it on the partition. It's a little tricky to configure at first but what you should have at the end is a protected virtual drive that can only be accessed on your PC with a password.

FreeOTFE Portable is a useful hard drive encryption program that offers a highly secure way to protect your data.
ProsData is protected as soon as it's saved on virtual drive
Doesn't require any installation
ConsNot clear how secure it is i.e. what kind of logarithms it uses
A little time consuming to setup

Publisher's Description

“A free, open source, "on-the-fly" (OTFE) transparent disk encryption program.”

By Sarah Dean about FreeOTFE

FreeOTFE is a free, open source, "on-the-fly" (OTFE) transparent disk encryption program.

Using this software, you can create one or more "virtual disks" on your PC - anything written to which will be automatically, and securely, encrypted before being stored.

Features include:

- Source code freely available.
- Easy to use; full Wizard included for creating new volumes.
- Data encrypted on your PC can be read/written on your PDA, and vice versa.
- Powerful: Supports numerous hash/encryption algorithms, and provides a greater level of flexibility than a number of other (including commercial!) OTFE systems.
- Hash algorithms include: MD5, SHA-512, RIPEMD-160, Tiger and many more.
- Cyphers include AES (256 bit), Twofish (256 bit), Blowfish (448 bit), Serpent (256 bit) and many more.
- "Portable mode" included; FreeOTFE doesn't need to be installed before it can be used - making it ideal for carrying your data securely on USB drives!
- Operates under both PC (MS Windows 2000/XP) and PDA (Windows Mobile 2003/2005) platforms.
- Linux compatibility (Cryptoloop "losetup", dm-Crypt and LUKS supported).
- "Hidden" volumes may be concealed within other FreeOTFE volumes, providing "plausible deniability".
- FreeOTFE volumes have no "signature" to allow them to be identified as such.
- Encrypted volumes can be either file or partition based.
- Modular design allowing 3rd party drivers to be created, incorporating new hash/Cypher algorithms.
- Supports password salting (up to 512 bits), reducing the risks presented by dictionary attacks.
- Allows users to backup and restore the critical areas of volume files.
- Keyfile support included; store volumes and their associated metadata separately.
- Uses per-Sector IVs, including support for ESSIV.
- Volume file timestamps and attributes are reset after dismounting, increasing "plausible deniability".
- Supports volumes files up to 2^63 bytes (8388608 TB).
- Plus more...!
