1. TrueCrypt introduction:

TrueCrypt is a free and open source disk encryption software for a variety of operating system platforms (Windows 7 Vista Windows XP Magi Mac OS X Magi Linux).

TrueCrypt has the following characteristics:

Create a virtual encrypted disk as a file and mount it

You can encrypt this partition or storage device, such as a flash drive or hard drive

Can encrypt Windows system partition (pre-boot authentication)

The file encryption process is automatic, real-time and transparent

Parallelization and pipeline technology are adopted, so that the encryption process will not affect the data reading and writing speed at all.

The encryption process can be accelerated by the hardware of the processor

Provide virtual disk hiding technology

Second, introduction to the use of instructions:

1. Download and install:

Download address: http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads

Installation: a simple "next" installation, which will not be discussed in detail here. (Windows system platform)

2. Use explanation:

(4) keep the default setting "Standard TrueCrypt Volume" and click "Next"

(5) Click "Select File..."

(6) after the previous step, a file selection dialog box pops up. In fact, this step is to create a file, path and name.

Said to be custom; if an existing file is selected, TrueCrypt will recreate it with the file name of the selected file

A file and replace the original file. Remember! ) in this case, under "D:\ My Documents"

A file named "My Volume" is created (the file name is custom entered). Click "Save" when the setup is complete.

(7) click "Next"

(8) Select encryption and Hash algorithm, keep the default settings, and click "Next"

(9) set the size of the file (My Volume) container. In this example, set it to 1m and click "Next".

(10) set the password, which will be used on the subsequent disk-the file is mounted. Click "Next" after setting the password.

* Note: the dialog box gives the elements of a strong password: it cannot contain words, consecutive numbers, names and birthdays; it should be composed of random uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters. The TrueCrypt development team recommends that passwords should be no less than 20 characters long (the longer the better), with a maximum of 64 characters.

(11) in the following dialog box, move the mouse randomly for as long as possible, at least 30 seconds.

The encryption key used by the cryptographic algorithm. If other settings are kept by default, click "Format"

(12) when the file container "D:\ My Documents\ My Volume" is created, click "OK"; exit the wizard and click

Hit "Exit"

(13) the following dialog box appears. Select the name of the mounted drive letter and the created TrueCrypt file. The examples are "M:" and "D:\ My Documets\ My Volume" respectively. Click "Mount" when the setting is complete.

(14) the mount requires a password, that is, the password previously set. After you enter it correctly, the mount is completed.

(15) after the mount is completed, a previously specified drive letter M will be added under "my computer":

(16) transfer the confidential files to the disk (M:). If you don't want to be accessed by others, you can click "Dismount" to

Unmount the disk; when you access it again, you can mount it.
