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.  You can download the latest version here: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=120388&package_id=131162

Many corporations today employ multiple techniques to protect against data loss. Unfortunately, the various approaches are often applied and managed in an uncoordinated manner. Ironically, the nightly backup, for some critical classes of applications, becomes almost irrelevant, representing a tertiary, "last ditch" level of data protection.

Some data is private. Other data, less so. Secure applications make it possible--and easy--to keep user data visible to the right people and invisible to the wrong people. Vladi Belperchinov explains how access control works and demonstrates with working code suitable for implementing your own access controls.
