VeraCrypt Portable is an open-source disk encryption application for Windows that provides data protection with on-the-fly encryption. No installation is necessary.
Safeguard
It is possible to create virtual disks within files and mount them as real disks. Similar to the standalone version, this one supports the encryption of entire partitions or storage devices. In other words, users can secure their USB flash drives and HDDs. The transformation process is automatic and transparent, consuming minimal system resources.
Designed for portability, the program runs directly from an external device without installation on the host system. This is perfect in scenarios where you require secure data access on multiple computers or prefer not to leave traces on a machine.
Plausible Deniability
To protect users in situations where they may be compelled to disclose their passwords, there are plausible deniability options. You can create hidden volumes and operating systems. Thus, it is more safe to keep sensitive information from unauthorized access. You are able to always find your folders within the program itself eliminating the need to search for necessary data in your default explorer or manager.
