<title>VeraCrypt - Free Open source disk encryption with strong security for the Paranoid</title>
<metaname="description"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."/>
Please note that although most chapters of this documentation apply generally to all versions of VeraCrypt, some sections are primarily aimed at users of the Windows versions of VeraCrypt. Hence, such sections may contain information that is inappropriate in regards to the Mac OS X and Linux versions of VeraCrypt.
