content="VeraCrypt is free open-source disk encryption software for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. In case an attacker forces you to reveal the password, VeraCrypt provides plausible deniability. In contrast to file encryption, data encryption performed by VeraCrypt is real-time (on-the-fly), automatic, transparent, needs very little memory, and does not involve temporary unencrypted files."

Windows and Linux versions of VeraCrypt offer to use EMV compliant
|
||
|
|
smart cards as a feature. Indeed, the use of PKCS#11 compliant smart
|
||
|
|
cards is dedicated to users with more or less cybersecurity skills.
|
||
|
|
However, in some situations, having such a card strongly reduces the
|
||
|
|
plausible deniability of the user.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
To overcome this problem, the idea is to allow the use of a type of
|
||
|
|
smart card owned by anyone: EMV compliant smart cards. According to
|
||
|
|
the standard of the same name, these cards spread all over the world
|
||
|
|
are used to carry out banking operations. Using internal data of the
|
||
|
|
user's EMV card as keyfiles will strengthen the security of his volume
|
||
|
|
while keeping his denial plausible.
