True Crypt : The OSS power

True crypt is an Open source tool for storing data securely. TrueCrypt is a software system for establishing and maintaining an on-the-fly-encrypted volume (data storage device). On-the-fly encryption means that data are automatically encrypted or decrypted right before they are loaded or saved, without any user intervention. No data stored on an encrypted volume can be read (decrypted) without using the correct password/keyfile(s) or correct encryption keys. Entire file system is encrypted (e.g.., file names, folder names, contents of every file, free space, meta data, etc).
Truecrypt supports two types of encryption process. One is standard truecrypt and hidden true crypt. Select standard truecrypt option is the better choice to the beginner. I already said in my previous posts by truecrypt we can create encrypts volumes for removale storage devices too. In the next option software asks you, to whether select the file or device. You select it according to your requirement.
Don't confuse to look for the created encrypted drive after encryption process. It has to mount. Select mount option for particular drive letter where the encrypted file is stored
The great feature of the truecrypt is its encryption algorithms. Here you can choose any encryption algorihms which is better fit for the choice of encryption level. True crypt allows only a larger and complex passwords only.

Note:
Be careful the user who are using it at first. I lost my 14GB data with wrong selection of options.
Be careful while selecting mount partitions. But don't have fear about data loss. You should not fear to do any experiment. In your life toooooo.
