IntroductionTrueCrypt software is based on E4M software

Invented by Paul Re Roux in 1997Abandon in 2000

“TrueCrypt Team” created TrueCrypt in 2004First release version 1.0 includes Win 98/ME

supportPaul Re Roux claimed TrueCrypt violated E4M GPLArbitration in second release (1.oa)Remove Win98/ME, become “TrueCrypt

Foundation”, and acknowledge E4M in the TrueCrypt’s GPL and Webpage

Introduction contd.TrueCrypt latest version is 5.1Offered various encryption algorithm for

volume/partitionAble to encrypts file or folder only to the

entire systemStandard encryption is AES with 256 bit keyMost advance encryption is 512 bit hash

encryption like in LINUX’s MD5 Famous since E4M to TrueCrypt because of

its OTFE (On The Fly Encryption) method

Features “Create a file container”

Standard volume in already existed storage system

“Create a volume within a non standard partition or device”Creates secure file container in USB drive

“Encrypt the entire partition or entire system drive.” Encrypt the entire partition of a Hard Drive

Page 6: TrueCrypt Open Source Encryption Software

Features contd.Various selection of encryption algorithmsThe ciphers (cryptography):

AES (256 bit)Serpent (modified AES)Two-Fish (modified AES)

The hash ciphers:RIPEM-160 (160 bits)SHA-2 (512 bits)Whirlpool (512 bits)

Page 7: TrueCrypt Open Source Encryption Software

Features contd.After selection of cipher, then we can format

the volume or partitionThen setup the passwordAll in GUI (Graphical User Interface)

More Advance FeatureA trick to use the software w/o installing the

entire package in the computerAble to open the encrypted file in any computerAny cipher or encryption algorithm can be usedOTFE (On The Fly Encryption) approach for

flash drive:Example to create standard volumeDrive is set to K:Filename is tcFolder

Page 9: TrueCrypt Open Source Encryption Software

More Advance Feature contd.OTFE in 5 steps:

Step 1: Extract the latest version or any version of TrueCrypt and copy TrueCrypt.exe, TrueCrypt Format.exe and TrueCrypt.sys to the USB drive.

Step2: Run TrueCrypt.exe, select file container as the first option, choose any encryption, and format the file container. For example: the file we want to encrypt is named “tcFolder”.

Step3: Create the mount.bat with two lines of codes such as: Line 1: TrueCrypt /v tcFolder /l K /m rm /auto /qexplorer Line 2: K:

Step 4: Create the unmount.bat with one line of code such as: Line 1: TrueCrypt /d K /q

Step 5: Create autorun.inf with one line of code. (Create autorun.txt first and rename to .inf later) Line 1: [autorun]open=mount.baticon=
