If a non-cascade encryption algorithm is used (i.e., AES, Serpent, or Twofish), the TrueCrypt Boot Loader is now small enough so that a backup of the TrueCrypt Boot Loader can be (and is) stored in the first drive cylinder. When the system partition/drive is encrypted, the TrueCrypt Boot Loader is now stored in a compressed form and is, therefore, smaller.Faster booting when the system partition is encrypted in Windows Vista/XP/2008/2003.Increased speed of AES encryption and decryption in Windows.Command line options for creating new volumes in Linux and Mac OS X.Feature useful for users who want to backup or repair a TrueCrypt encrypted operating system from another operating system. Ability to mount a partition that is within the key scope of system encryption without pre-boot authentication such as a partition located on the encrypted system drive of another operating system that is not running in Windows Vista/XP/2008/2003.Support for hibernation on computers where the system partition is encrypted in Windows Vista/XP/2008/2003.The TrueCrypt version 5.1 was released on Mahas the following new features, enhancements, improvements or bug fixes: Encryption algorithms supported including AES-256, Serpent, and Twofish.Provides two levels of plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password: hidden volume (steganography) and no TrueCrypt volume can be identified (volumes cannot be distinguished from random data).Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent.
Encrypts a partition or drive where Windows is installed (pre-boot authentication).Encrypts an entire partition or storage device such as USB flash drive or hard drive.Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk.Although TrueCrypt is free, but it’s as powerful is not more powerful that other disk encryption utility available, and comes with more features than disk encryption program for BitLocker.
