A friend of mine asks me recently how I can be sure my most important documents won't be steal on my computer. Well, I've answered him, but what he don't know is that I use these tip to keep all of my own porn and kink related datas away from prying eyes. Today, I will talk about this wonderful tool, which is going to change your life if you don't already know it: Truecrypt.
Truecrypt is one of the most well-known way to securise your datas by placing them on a virtual encrypted disk. In facts, you have a partition on your computer you can use in the normal way, but it is represented as a single file on your disk. You create a encrypted file first, you give it a password, and to access (or "mount") your secret disk, you have to enter it. You are the only one who can see the content of the disk, really useful when you have inquisitive friends or when you use your computer at work. And the best part is, that the tool can be launched in "portable-mode": "which means that it does not have to be installed on the operating system under
which it is run".
You can download Truecrypt by following this link. The documentation may help you if you have any problems, and feel free to ask me questions.
