![]() Twofish is even more powerful and complex, albeit a little slower to decode, and Serpent is the grandaddy of slow but beefy encryption.†This suite means that IF an adversary somehow managed to break the AES encryption or find a way past it, they still have Twofish and Serpent in their way, making it extremely unlikely (as long as the rest of this setup is done properly) that anyone will EVER access this file by force.įor my Hash Algorithm, I use SHA-512 or Whirlpool typically. I’m not going to get into a huge explanation about these, but the general point to get across to you is, “AES is what your SSL and TLS certificates typically use, and is the industry standard military grade encryption. I personally am on the viewpoint of, “I’d rather it be as secure as possible.†After all, why am I going through all this trouble, just to make my container something that can be broken into.? So, for my own container I chose a cascade suite of cyphers AES first, Twofish next and then finishing with Serpent. Once that’s finished, it’s time to select the Algorithm we want to use. I tend to make mine usually just gibberish names, like “dmbe7363†or something personally but ultimately you could name it, “Top secret files I want to hide from the government†if you wanted to as well. Next, we want to click Volumes > Create New Volume.įrom there, select that you wish to create a container, and make it standard not hidden on the next screen as well.Īt this point it’s time to create the file you wish to use as a container. You are now ready to encrypt your drives/files using VeraCrypt.Pop open your applications menu and find VeraCrypt, usually under “Accessoriesâ€. You can verify that VeraCrypt is installed and indeed is in your PATH.
