About Veracrypt

Veracrypt was created in 2013 by Mounir Idrassi. It was developed as a fork of the discontinued TrueCrypt project to address security vulnerabilities and improve performance. Veracrypt aimed to provide enhanced encryption options and better protection against brute-force attacks.

Strengths of Veracrypt include robust encryption algorithms, open-source transparency, and cross-platform compatibility. Weaknesses involve a complex setup process and potential performance overhead. Competitors include BitLocker, AxCrypt, and DiskCryptor.
