Show key headers only | View raw

I am pleased to announce the project I have been working on the last couple  
of months is ready for beta testing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DoxBox: Open-Source disk encryption for Windows. Think Truecrypt++

-------- FEATURES ------------------------------------------------------------

 * Easy to use, with a 'wizard' for creating new 'DoxBoxes'.
 * Full transparent encryption, DoxBoxes appear as removable disks in Windows
   Explorer.
 * Explorer mode lets you access DoxBoxes when you don't have admin
   permissions.
 * Compatible with Linux encryption, Cryptoloop "losetup", dm-crypt, and
   LUKS. Linux shell scripts support deniable encryption on Linux.
 * Supports smartcards and security tokens.
 * Encrypted DoxBoxes can be a file, a partition, or a whole disk.
 * Opens legacy volumes created with FreeOTFE
 * Runs on Windows Vista onwards (see note below for 64 bit versions).
 * Supports numerous hash (including SHA-512, RIPEMD-320, Tiger) and
   encryption algorithms (Including AES, Twofish, and Serpent) in several
   modes (CBC, LRW, and XTS), giving more options than any other disk
   encryption software.
 * Optional 'key files' let you use a thumb-drive as a key.
 * Portable mode doesn't need to be installed and leaves little trace on 3rd
   party PCs (administrator rights needed).
 * Deniable encryption protects you from 'rubber hose cryptography'.

*Please note this is a Beta version with some known limitations. Particularly  
in Portable mode an extra step is needed on 64 bit Windows to avoid the error  
message "Windows requires a digitally signed driver".*
