TrueCrypt 5.0 – Verschlüsselung für Lau
Wer keine Lust hat bei einem Diebstahl seines PCs dem Langfinger Zugriff auf seine Daten zu geben wird sicherlich schonmal von TrueCrypt gehört haben. Mit TrueCrypt könnt Ihr ganze Festplatten verschlüsseln und somit vor dem Zugriff durch unbefugte sichern. Neu in Version 5.0 ist vorallem, dass nun auch die Systempartition werden kann - und das kann nun sogar Max OS X sein!
- Ability to encrypt a system partition/drive (i.e. a partition/drive where Windows is installed) with pre-boot authentication (anyone who wants to gain access and use the system, read and write files, etc., needs to enter the correct password each time before the system starts).
- Pipelined operations increasing read/write speed by up to 100% (Windows)
- Mac OS X version
- Graphical user interface for the Linux version of TrueCrypt
- XTS mode of operation, which was designed by Phillip Rogaway in 2003 and which was recently approved as the IEEE 1619 standard for cryptographic protection of data on block-oriented storage devices. XTS is faster and more secure than LRW mode (for more information on XTS mode, see the section Modes of Operation in the documentation).
- The Linux version of TrueCrypt has been redesigned so that it will no longer be affected by changes to the Linux kernel (kernel upgrades/updates).
- Many other minor improvements, bug fixes, and security enhancements. (Windows and Linux)
Das Beste daran: TrueCrypt ist kostenlos.
