On-the-fly encryption software for Windows XP/2k which can create virtual encrypted disk within a file and mount it as a real disk. It can also encrypt entire hard disk partition or storage device such as USB memory stick. Supports plausible deniability. What is new in TrueCrypt 2.1a: IDEA encryption algorithm removed. This allows non-profit and profit organizations to use TrueCrypt without having to obtain a separate license for IDEA (according to the IDEA license, any use of software containing the IDEA algorithm by a non-profit or profit organization is considered as use for commercial purposes, and is subject to a license from MediaCrypt AG).   Important: TrueCrypt volumes encrypted using the IDEA encryption algorithm cannot be mounted using TrueCrypt 2.1a. If you have such a volume, before upgrading to TrueCrypt 2.1a, please create a new TrueCrypt volume using a cipher other than IDEA and move your files to this new volume.
