* Documentation: Remove XHTML spec and fix errors None of the docs follow the XHTML specification, which means that programs that expect this (such as Gnome Web) as it is advertised as such, will completely fail to parse it as it is incorrect syntax. So it is removed. * Remove .chm files

<title>VeraCrypt - Free Open source disk encryption with strong security for the Paranoid</title>

<meta name="description" content="VeraCrypt is free open-source disk encryption software for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. In case an attacker forces you to reveal the password, VeraCrypt provides plausible deniability. In contrast to file encryption, data encryption performed by VeraCrypt is real-time (on-the-fly), automatic, transparent, needs very little memory, and does not involve temporary unencrypted files."/>

<h1>VeraCrypt Volume</h1>
|
|
<p>There are two types of VeraCrypt volumes:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>File-hosted (container) </li><li>Partition/device-hosted (non-system) </li></ul>
|
|
<p>Note: In addition to creating the above types of virtual volumes, VeraCrypt can encrypt a physical partition/drive where Windows is installed (for more information, see the chapter
|
|
<a href="System%20Encryption.html"><em>System Encryption</em></a>).<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
A VeraCrypt file-hosted volume is a normal file, which can reside on any type of storage device. It contains (hosts) a completely independent encrypted virtual disk device.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
A VeraCrypt partition is a hard disk partition encrypted using VeraCrypt. You can also encrypt entire hard disks, USB hard disks, USB memory sticks, and other types of storage devices.</p>
