TrueCrypt 7.0  has been released. Among the new features are hardware-accelerated AES, support for devices that use sector sizes other than 512 bytes, ability to configure a volume to be automatically mounted whenever its host device gets connected to the computer, favorites organizer, and more.

Main Features:

• Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk.

• Encrypts an entire partition or storage device such as USB flash drive or hard drive.

• Encrypts a partition or drive where Windows is installed (pre-boot authentication).

• Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent.

• Parallelization and pipelining allow data to be read and written as fast as if the drive was not encrypted.

• Provides plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password: Hidden volume (steganography) and hidden operating system.

• Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Serpent, and Twofish. Mode of operation: XTS.
