    BestCrypt, developed by Jetico, is a commercial disk encryption app available for Windows, Linux, macOS and Android.[3]

    BestCrypt comes in two editions: BestCrypt Volume Encryption to encrypt entire disk volumes;[4] BestCrypt Container Encryption to encrypt virtual disks stored as computer files.[5]

    BestCrypt also provides the complimentary data erasure utility BCWipe.[6]

    Cryptographic Algorithms

    [edit | edit source]

    BestCrypt supports a wide variety of block cipher algorithms including AES, Serpent, Blowfish, Twofish, DES, Triple DES, GOST 28147-89. All ciphers support CBC and LRW modes of operation while AES, Twofish and Serpent also support XTS mode.

    Features

    [edit | edit source]
    • Create and mount a virtual drive encrypted using AES, Blowfish, Twofish, CAST-128[7] and various other encryption methods. BestCrypt v.8 and higher can alternatively mount a subfolder on a NTFS disk instead of a drive. Encrypted virtual disk images are compatible across Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
    • Encrypt a set of files into a single, self-extracting archive.
    • Transparently encrypt entire partitions or volumes together with pre-boot authentication for encrypted boot partitions.
    • Two-factor authentication.
    • Support for size-efficient Dynamic Containers with the Smart Free Space Monitoring technology.[8]
    • Hardware accelerated encryption.
    • Anti-keylogging facilities to protect container and volume passwords.
    • Data erasure utility BCWipe to erase unprotected copies of data to complement encryption.
    • Secret sharing and Public Key authentication methods in addition to basic password-based authentication.
