VeraCrypt is an open-source disk-encryption software project for creating encrypted storage volumes. Its official documentation describes virtual encrypted disks, encryption of partitions and storage devices, and system-drive encryption on supported platforms. Data is encrypted as it is written to a mounted volume and decrypted when accessed, with keys or credentials required to unlock the storage. VeraCrypt is maintained as a software project rather than a commercial security vendor directory listing. Users should consult the current documentation for supported operating systems, installation guidance, backups, and recovery considerations before encrypting important data.
