Courtesy of the inbuilt secure note editor, you can create, organize, and keep your notes safe and secured. Kurptos is making its mark with its Cloud encryption for Dropbox, Apple iCloud, Google drive files, and Microsoft one drive, and you also have the option of data shredding. When talking about computability, encrypted files are fully compatible between windows, USB drives, Mac OSX, and Android. Your files are always remained secured in case your computer is stolen or broken, and once the files are encrypted, then they can be accessed from anywhere. All the sensitive information can be locked in a matter of no time, and you can protect photos, credit card data, movies, tax returns, or any other private information. If you have any links or places you have also looked for a solution to this problem, please post or send me a PM on the forums here.Kruptos is a professional encryption software that allows you to protect your password and files like images and documents with 256-bit encryption. Hence the reason for 30+pass drive wiping software.)Īgain thanks for starting this thread over a year ago, I will continue to read up on this subject. (I know there are ways to see 'ghosting' on drives even if things are overwritten. If that's the case, now I am trusting the OS to honor the read only status and not write my sensitve data there in clear text for someone with advanced hard drive tools to be able to pull that data off, even if it's over written. I have not fully looked into what happens in linux on the boot and root drives, they may in fact be read only drives, or have the ability to be setup as read only. (I am trusting that to be the case anyway.) So when working on a document, website, whatever that has temporary files that may contain sensitive data that the system never has the ability to write that cleartext to any temporary location with out it being encrypted.įull hard drive encryption gives me the sense of security that the OS can't accidentally write on the HD in clear text. The reason I think it needs to be an entire system encryption is to make sure that while I am using the drive everything written to the HD is in an encrypted form. If they stole it to get personal data from me and new it was encrypted they would have to spend hours and hours, in fact I think it was somewhere in the neighborhood of 2000 years to decrypt the data.

My concern was I wanted to be able to encrypt the entire volume so if someone stole my laptop, they would see basically a blank hard drive.

I currently use Truecrypt on my windows laptop, but wanted to install any linux distro on it as the primary OS. I know it's been a while since this post was updated but reading it and the thread in truecrypt forums was educational.
