VeraCrypt is volume encryption software that functions like an attached drive, making it possible to actively work with data like any other drive until the volume is dismounted. The program supports favorites, hot keys, hardware acceleration, and auto-mount options. Includes a variety of available tools for added security including keyfiles, security tokens, hidden volumes, auto-dismount, cascaded encryption and cached password management.

Cross-platform with clients available for Mac and Linux. Alternatively, VeraCrypt Portable is also available.

VeraCrypt is based on the inactive TrueCrypt, attempting to solve some of the program's documented weaknesses. The program can open and convert TrueCrypt volumes.

The release notes show: v1.26.10 (November 8th, 2023). After changing the entry on May 25 I noticed on the download page: Latest Stable Release - 1.26.7 (Sunday October 1st, 2023)
So I changed the entry again. v1.26.7 is the latest release and the correct release date is shown in the heading

There is no longer a "Legacy Portable" download.
From the release notes:

Complete removal of RIPEMD160 and GOST89 algorithms. Legacy volumes using any of them cannot be mounted by VeraCrypt"

Version 1.25: Drop support of Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 because of new requirement for driver code signing.

v1.25

@CornHolio - In terms of security, TrueCrypt is probably more than adequate for 98% of users. It's still very hard for someone to get into your data. However, VeraCrypt likely works better with whole-disk security and has some speed improvements.

v1.24 Update 7

CornHolio the Gringo 2020-08-28 22:02

I still use TrueCrypt-7.1a, the proven.

v1.24 Update 7

giulia 2020-08-10 00:35

hi
could be corrected for the w7 users!

v1.24 Update 7

PAFuser 2020-08-09 12:06

Select Windows 8 and above, runs as 64 bit on Windows 10 according to Task Manger. Seems to have both 32 and 64 bit in download. Using PortableApps version 64 bit runs on Windows 10 64 bit.

v1.24 Update 7

webfork 2020-01-27 09:59

@Gougueuleu: that's true, but we've listed admin in the requirements section. As to weather that's "true" portable depends on who you ask.

v1.24 Update 4

Gougueuleu 2020-01-27 03:04

On MS windows, this is not a portable version : It needs an admin account, to dezip and install the exe.

v1.24 Update 4

Mixture 2020-01-25 10:19

NOW, version 1.24 update 4 installs properly on my Windows 10 system! What the %*@?# is wrong with my computer?!

v1.24 Update 4

Mixture 2020-01-24 17:09

I tried downloading version 1.24 update 4 from MajorGeeks, Snapfiles, and veracrypt.fr and always go the same error whenever I tried to install it on my Windows 10 system.

Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

Seeing that it was still usable on Windows XP, I copied the veracrypt.fr download to a flash drive and tried installing it there. A new error popped up.

This distribution package is damaged. Please try downloading it again (preferably from the official VeraCrypt website at http://www.veracrypt.fr).

I checked the SHA256 hash checksum and it is correct so I know my download was good. Until VeraCrypt and/or Microsoft fixes their error, I must stay with version 1.24 update 2.

v1.24 Update 4

Mixture 2017-07-11 17:29

Version 1.21 still does not install on my Windows 10 system. I had the same problem with the 1.20 version of VeraCrypt.

v1.21

Shadeclan 2017-05-31 16:41

CodePlex, the repository of Veracrypt, has been shut down and Veracrypt can now be found here: https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Home.html

v1.19

@smaragdus: Thanks ... and updated ;)

v1.13

smaragdus 2015-09-11 00:49

The latest stable version of VeraCrypt is 1.13- http://sourceforge.net/projects/veracrypt/files/

v1.0f-2

As shown above, "Download the installer and launch", this is not a portable application, but an application hidden inside an encrypted installer. Most installers can be accessed readily as an archive using 7-Zip, PeaZip or other application, and the contents can then be extracted and sent to Virustotal without executing any code in the installer. That is not the case with VeraCrypt, since one must execute the installer to unzip the application.

This does not mean that the application or installer is untrustworthy, but it does mean one can't examine the internal files until the installer runs. More openness would be appreciated.

v1.0f-2

webfork 2015-07-27 01:24

MoisheP: Could you provide some detail on what you mean in forums?

v1.0f-2

MoisheP 2015-07-26 20:07

Why is the actual executable not available for security inspection? The executable must be run to extract the archive (it cannot be extracted directly from the distributed file).

v1.0f-2
