this is probably the most user-friendly and the most flexible encryption software in Linux
let's have a look how to use it
hello everyone its Average Linux User
helping you to install configure and use Linux
in some of my previous videos I have shown how to encrypt the hard drive in Linux
with a command line
and some of you complained that this was a method from the nineties
so in this video I will show you how to make an encryption in Linux
with a beautiful graphical program
this program is called veracrypt
and if you use the encryption on Linux before
you probably know the program TrueCrypt
but it is not secure anymore
and it is not developed anymore
so veracrypt is an alternative program
which is actually based on TrueCrypt
so let's first install it you go to downloads
and you download the version you want to use
actually it is available for different platforms
you can also use it on Windows and on Mac OS and on Linux and even on the Raspberry Pi
so let's download it
after we have downloaded it you need to extract the archive
so I go to downloads right click here and extract here
when the extraction is done
you can open terminal here
I go to my terminal
and I navigate to my downloads folder
and then I enter veracrypt folder
here's the files we have extracted and here you have choice between
the command line interface and the graphical user interface
so we are primarily interested in graphical interface
and I assume that most of my viewers use 64-bit system
if you are using 32-bit system you can use this installer
so what you need to do your first type sudo
because you need administrative privileges to install
this program
and then you type the name of the program starting with dot slash
and the name of the program
enter your password
here you select option one then
you can press space to scroll through the license
and in the end you need to type yes that you agree with this license
so the program is installed if
you want to uninstall it you can just run this command
I will show you at the end of the video
so I press ENTER and the program is installed
so to run it you can just type veracrypt from your terminal
and the program has started
so Veracrypt provides several ways to make encryption
if you click on the create a volume you can see that you can just
create an encrypted file container
you can just assume it's a virtual folder
which is encrypted
and you can also encrypt the whole partition or the whole drive
choose whatever you want the principle is basically similar for the two options
so let's just create an encrypted container
here I suggest you to use a standard veracrypt volume
but if you are very paranoid you can use hidden volume
so this is needed in case somebody found this encrypted volume on
your system and they force you to reveal a password
I will go with a standard volume
here you select where you want this encrypted volume to be located
let's place it in veracrypt folder and call it test volume
click Save
Veracrypt provides several ways to make encryption so these are different
encryption algorithms I usually go with a default this should be enough for most
of the users but if you want you can read more information here
I click Next
here you define the space of the container so as you can see I have six
gigs free on my system so I can create a volume up to six gigs but I do create
just one gig volume
next here you define your password this password will be used to decrypt this volume
I will use a simple password here but usually you need to use much one key password
if you want to be your encryption as secure as possible you can
also enable the pim option this means you just need to specify a specific
number during the mounting process you can read
more about it at veracrypt website
I usually don't use it using just one
password is already quite secure
but if you want more security I recommend you
to use a key file
so let me show you how to use it
you just need to create a key file
you just click generate random key file
here you need to move your mouse as much as possible to create some random numbers which will be stored in
this key file so you can move it until it is completely finished here but for
this video I will just stop here in this field you type the name of the key file
and after that you just click generate and save this file
again I will place it here
so the key file has been successfully created now you can add it
here so we select this key file we have just created and you add it to your
encryption profile
now to unencrypt this volume you will have to use the
password and in addition to this you also need to use a key file to make it
even more secure you can store key file for example when you USB Drive and to
mount this encrypted volume you need to connect your USB Drive to your computer
and provide this key file to and unencrypt this volume
but be careful because if
you lose your key file you won't be able to encrypt this volume
so make sure you have a backup of this key file
it complains that my password is too short but as I said before it is a demonstration purpose
so my password is simple but but you need to use much longer password
in this field you can define the file system you wanna use
if you want to use this encrypted volume for different systems I recommend you to use fat file system
but if it is just on Linux you can use ext4 for file system
click Next and you see you have
two options here if you want to mount it on different volumes or you will just
mount it on Linux I will use it only on Linux
so I click Next and here again you
need to generate some randomness here by moving your mouse is randomly as possible
in this window
so you move it you move it the more you move it the
better encryption will be so wait until this field is completely filled
but for this video this is already enough so I just click format
so here you need to enter your administrative password
as you can see veracrypt encrypted volume
has been successfully created
now let's have a look at it
so after you created the encrypted volume you need to mount it so you select the
encrypted volume by clicking here
this is the test volume we have just created
next you need to select where you want to mount it just select the first slot
if you have many encrypted volumes you can mount them here and click mount here
you enter the password you used for your encryption and as you remember we also
use the key file so you also need to specify the key file
and we add this key file
so now the encrypted volume should be mounted
and here you can see where it was mounted so it is located in the folder media veracrypt1
you go to a file manager
to the folder media
and here is our encrypted volume
you can create a new folder here
as you can see you can place any files here
after you finished placing the information here you close it and you
need to unmount it
if you have several devices that are mounted you can just
dismount them all
now when it is unmounted nobody can access your
information without the password and a key file
after you've finished working and you dismounted audio clip it volumes you just click exit
if you don't want to have veracrypt on your device anymore
you can remove it by running this command
you type sudo veracrypt and uninstall
enter your password
so veracrypt is uninstalled from your system
Veracrypt is a great program not only because it
has graphical interface it is very powerful encryption tool so I highly
recommend you to use it you can create an encrypted file container you can
encrypt a whole hard drive or if you want to make your data very secure you
can also create a hidden encrypted volume or a hidden encrypted partition
just explore all the possibilities so you can make your data very secure
