Encrypt your data. TrueCrypt program. Well, or just how to put a password on folders

Recently, a clever man advised to encrypt their data, I had somehow never thought, but it's really important nuance. Like the question immediately arises: “А зачем лишний геморрой?. it, of course, pertinent question, but, At first, Safety never hurts, Secondly: “Проще спереть флешку у работницы конторы, to dig up dirt on office, и не надо покупать дорогущие снифферы и нанимать крутых кул хацкеров” — цитата из речи того самого умного человека.
In general, there are many program for encrypting, but most of them I have never seen. I'm only the yuzal, которую посоветовали — TrueCrypt . The program is absolutely free, open source, It uses a variety of popular encryption algorithms(AES,Blowfish and others), The program does not need to install(that is, it does not store anything in the registry or in the AppData folder) . The program can encrypt the entire disk at once (USB flash drive, external HDD, etc.), также можно создать определенный зашифрованный “контейнер”, that looks like a file, and to read or write data to, нужно подключить этот файл как “новый том” или “виртуальную флеш карту”, on this, of course, Administrator rights are required, since the program uses a file system driver.
Well, move on to practice. Then you come home, and then Dad learned to use a computer (Well or sister, Mama, кот или хомяк — неважно кто, thing, that you want to hide from prying eyes this data). Here for example your files, that you would like to hide from prying eyes:

Of course, You can create a bunch of folders recursively , and some of them push your valuable dennye, но потом в этом можно самому заблудиться.А можно поставить на папках атрибут “Скрытый” — это, of course, help, but then your dad and master komputer, feeling cool hatskery new century, begin to delve into the hidden files. Okay, less chatter. Download the program TrueCrypt from here, when you run the installer prompted to select: extract the files to a folder(portable installation) or extract the files in the Program Files folder (What type of installation), in fact both versions do not differ. Well, that means you have installed the program, run:

I downloaded the additional languages, the program is in English. But anyway, дружественный интерфейс скажет вам “привет”. Choose Volumes->Create New Volume

The first item is a container, а второй и третий — шифрование всего диска или раздела. In general, how do you want, but I can not hear you so choose-ka I first option. Then click Next, once again Next(if you do not know what it says), Now select the location of the container file, We call it somehow. I'll call very_secret.fbi, (Choose any name, your work fully). Next, choose the encryption algorithm(я оставлю AES — он типа крутой, although they are all cool), Dale indicates the size of the container(size of the file to be created), I put 10 GB. Click Next and set the password to access your data, Then choose the file system, indicate the ability to store files larger than 4GB, and click Format(If someone is afraid of the word, the fear on). Well, we wait, until encrypt your file. Here everything is ready, Now our file. And it weighs exactly 10 GB

Now, let's protect our valuable data. Open TrueCrypt, our file and choose a drive letter, which will be mounted at our secret section. I will X:, and click Mount. Enter your password, и в “Мой компьютер” появляется диск X:. Throw back our data. The data is copied as fast, as usual.

Now you need only disconnect that, pressing Dismount. That's all, everything of value is now in single file. For, To view or change information on your topic, you just need to mount your file as is and enter the password. Also, I really liked it, что программа умеет создавать “скрытые разделы”, то есть в одном контейнере может быть целых два том — внешний и скрытый. To access the hidden partition is used only another password. It's comfortable, if, eg, Your would tie to a chair, and then visit a fat man with pants with suspenders and beat you, to find out your password. You can tell him the password from the usual section, then he unbind from you and see a couple of videos of your strawberry, but your 8 gigs scat remain unattainable for him.
