Features of TrueCrypt 6.0 :

· It can create a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mount it as a real disk.
· It can encrypt an entire hard disk partition or a device, such as USB memory stick, floppy disk, etc.
· Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent.
· Provides two levels of plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password:
1) Hidden volume (more information may be found here).
2) No TrueCrypt volume can be identified (TrueCrypt volumes cannot be distinguished from random data).
· Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Serpent, and Twofish. Mode of operation: XTS.

What's New in TrueCrypt 6.0 :

• New features:
· Parallelized encryption/decryption on multi-core processors (or multi-processor systems). Increase in encryption/decryption speed is directly proportional to the number of cores and/or processors.
For example, if your computer has a quad-core processor, encryption and decryption will be four times faster than on a single-core processor with equivalent specifications (likewise, it will be twice faster on dual-core processors, etc.)
