In this issue, Xiaobian will bring you about how to use VeraCrypt in CentOS. The article is rich in content and analyzed and described from a professional perspective. After reading this article, I hope you can gain something.

1. Prepare the experimental environment

1, Install CentOS 6.8 in VirtualBox and upgrade to the latest version, shut down;

2. Add a new disk to the virtual machine. The recommended size is 8GB. Because when using VeraCrypt encryption, although you set the "dynamic allocation" virtual disk size when creating a new virtual disk, the virtual disk will take up the same amount of space as the size you set.

As shown in the figure:

Second, install VeraCrypt

1. Download the installation package and extract it.

The latest version of VeraCrypt is 1.19, click here to go to the project home page

Find the Linux installation package on the download page, as shown below:

Download the installation package using the wget command:

cd /usr/local/src

wget https://launchpad.net/veracrypt/trunk/1.19/+download/veracrypt-1.19-setup.tar.bz2

Extract files:

tar -jxvf veracrypt-1.19-setup.tar.bz2

After decompression, there are four files:

(2) Installation

Because CentOS I installed is 64-bit and there is no GUI installed, I installed veracrypt-1.19-setup-console-x64.

./ veracrypt-1.19-setup-console-x64

1. Select installation mode

Setup pop-up prompt: ask you whether to install veracrypt(option 1) or extract the installation package to/tmp directory, here select "1" and enter:

VeraCrypt 1.19 Setup

____________________

Installation options:

1) Install veracrypt_1.19_console_amd64.tar.gz

2) Extract package file veracrypt_1.19_console_amd64.tar.gz and place it to /tmp

To select, enter 1 or 2:

2. View and accept user permissions

Next, a prompt pops up asking you to enter to view user permissions:

Before you can use, extract, or install VeraCrypt, you must accept the

terms of the VeraCrypt License.

Press Enter to display the license terms...

Click enter to see the full text of the user license, if you don't want to read it, you can press q to exit; then the program will ask you if you accept the license, enter yes.

Do you accept and agree to be bound by the license terms? (yes/no): yes

Uninstalling VeraCrypt:

-----------------------

To uninstall VeraCrypt, please run 'veracrypt-uninstall.sh'.

Installing package...

usr/

usr/share/

usr/share/veracrypt/

usr/share/veracrypt/doc/

usr/share/veracrypt/doc/License.txt

usr/share/veracrypt/doc/VeraCrypt User Guide.pdf

usr/share/pixmaps/

usr/share/pixmaps/veracrypt.xpm

usr/share/applications/

usr/share/applications/veracrypt.desktop

usr/bin/

usr/bin/veracrypt

usr/bin/veracrypt-uninstall.sh

Press Enter to exit...

At this point, enter Enter to complete the installation.

3. Verify installation

Enter the following command:

[root@localhost src]# veracrypt --version

VeraCrypt 1.19

If the program displays the following error prompt at this time

eracrypt -version

veracrypt: error while loading shared libraries: libfuse.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

fuse-libs needs to be installed

yum install -y fuse-libs

Third, create the entire encrypted hard disk

Now use fdisk -l to see the 8GB virtual hard disk we added earlier:

Disk /dev/sdb: 8589 MB, 8589934592 bytes

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1044 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

Disk identifier: 0x0000000 No partitioning has been performed yet. In fact, we do not need to encrypt the entire disk partition operation, unless we only want to add a part of the disk encryption operation, then we can first partition the disk, and then use veracrypt for a partition encryption.
