Cool Software of the Day - TrueCrypt
Hardcore encryption software can be hard to find for Windows users, so I thought I’d pass along a nifty open source tool that can protect sensitive information on your PC.
TrueCrypt is available for win2k, XP, and win2k3 and allows you to encrypt your data ‘on the fly’ so that data is encrypted or decrypted as needed, which increases the level of security with data. It works on a file, directory, volume, and device level and is handy for encrypting the data on something like your USB thumbdrive.
Another great application that proves again that open source software benefits Windows users too!
