Julian asked about this today, thought I'd post it up for everyone.

Load it up. You create a file, various types of encryption. You mount the file, it turns up at a drive. You copy files to it, delete, etc. Unmount the drive. If someone examines the file there are no headers or tell-tale data to show that it is an encrypted volume. Can even mount volumes from thumb drives. Brilliant!

trucrypt also does hidden volumes.......

This is pound for pound, the best volume encrypting software out.

Ya, hidden volumes are the bomb

Basically you create an encypted file that is your drive, then create another drive that is in there that is encypted. Can anyone say double encryption? Shit rocks...

Sounds a lot like PointSec that the fibis use.

The only downside with their implimentation is you have to create the hidden volume at the same time... but it works really cool. Two seperate keys, enter one and get the 'boring' stuff, end the other and cha-ching...

The version that I have you can create the hidden volume after creating the main volume

This is version 4.1
