TrueCrypt
Business Profile
Core Value Proposition
TrueCrypt provides free open-source on-the-fly disk encryption software for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, enabling real-time, automatic, transparent encryption with plausible deniability.
Target Customer
End users and organizations requiring disk encryption on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
Key Differentiator
Free/open-source, cross-platform disk encryption with real-time on-the-fly operation, pre-boot authentication, hardware acceleration, and built-in plausible deniability (hidden volume and hidden OS).
Implementation Timeline
Not specified in the content.
Pain Points
- 1Need to encrypt entire partitions or storage devices to protect data at rest (including system drives).
- 2Desire for plausible deniability in case of compelled disclosure (hidden volume and hidden OS).
- 3Requirement for fast encryption performance that can leverage multi-core processors and hardware acceleration.
Key Features
- 1Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk.
- 2Encrypts an entire partition or storage device (e.g., USB flash drive or hard drive).
- 3Encrypts a partition or drive where Windows is installed (pre-boot authentication).
- 4Automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent encryption.
- 5Parallelization and pipelining to read/write data as fast as unencrypted drives; hardware-accelerated encryption.
- 6Plausible deniability via hidden volume (steganography) and hidden operating system.
Target Customer Industries
Client Results
- 1Real-time encryption that operates transparently without requiring user intervention during normal use.
- 2Ability to encrypt system partitions/drives with pre-boot authentication.
- 3Support for hidden volumes and hidden OS for plausible deniability.
- 4Potential performance benefits from multi-core optimization and hardware acceleration.
Competitive Advantages
- 1Free and open-source software.
- 2Cross-platform support (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux).
- 3On-the-fly, real-time encryption with minimal memory usage and no temporary unencrypted files.
- 4Pre-boot authentication for Windows system drives.
- 5Plausible deniability features (hidden volume and hidden OS).
- 6Hardware-accelerated encryption and fast data handling via parallelization.
- 7Uses SSL for secure communication.
