Note: For example, if you have a TrueCrypt container on a USB flash drive and you want to configure TrueCrypt to mount it automatically whenever you insert the USB flash drive into the USB port, follow these steps: 1.

A volume can now be configured to be automatically mounted whenever its host device gets connected to the computer (provided that the correct password and/or keyfiles are supplied). In the browsing history file of the App we store the hashed (sorted hash) file path, and adversary cannot recover sensitive information like file name.Note: If you want to disable hardware acceleration, select Settings > Performance and disable the option 'Accelerate AES encryption/decryption by using the AES instructions of the processor'. Now when you open videos and audios inside crypto disks, the App will first copy them to cache folder however, after you end your playing, the App will automatically delete the copies. Also, the App denies any login for half an hour after 3 failed login attempts, to make brute-force passcode attack very hard. Passcode is needed when entering the App (if passcode is enabled) however, password is further needed when opening a crypto disk. Note that the passcode of the App is different from the passwords of crypto disks. Note the feature require iOS 9 or later, and Touch ID. WhenUnlockedThisDeviceOnly setting, means that stored passwords are only be securely saved in this device, and cannot be backed up and restored to other devices (“Keychain Data Protection” subsection, page 14, ).
Also, only fingerprints but not the device passcode can retrieve stored passwords.ī. TouchIDCurrentSet setting, means that only fingerprints in current fingerprint set on the device can retrieve stored passwords, whenever the fingerprint set has any fingerprint addition or removal, all stored passwords cannot be retrieved. In addition, we choose the most secure settings iOS provides:Ī. Touch ID, together with a coprocessor called Secure Enclave, can make that only valid fingerprints are able to retrieve the saved password in Keychain. In v2.4.7 and later, the App offers a feature that user could choose whether to store the passwords of crypto disks or only the passwords of non-hidden crypto disks into the Keychain protected by device Touch ID hardware when opening disks (in v2.4.6 and before, it never stores the passwords of crypto disks in any form, e.g., encrypted or hashed forms).

We will continue monitoring any problems related to TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt format and TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt software and respond as soon as possible to keep our users’ data secure. The most notable fix is the increase of iteration count of key derivation algorithm (which also makes it is not compatible with TrueCrypt format). VeraCrypt is a fork of TrueCrypt, and fixed some potential problems of TrueCrypt. Instead, it is because the developers think "there is no longer interest. However, the reason of stopping maintenance is not that the format is not secure. TrueCrypt officially announced that they would not maintain their desktop software on May 24, 2014, which triggered wide discussions.
(Note we never mean to against governments, not even to protect criminals.) Two stories in wiki mentioned that both the Brazilian National Institute of Criminology (INC) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) failed to access files in TrueCrypt encrypted volumes. Security scientists didn’t find any mathematical problems in TrueCrypt format. There was no backdoor or major problem identified in a 3rd party audit in 2014, and 2015 (audit started from 2013). The TrueCrypt desktop software base on TrueCrypt format, is a software that has 10-year history and is used all around the world. We believe that the TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt format encrypted volume is secure, based on following reasons:
