VeraCrypt

VeraCrypt is a free and open-source utility for on-the-fly encryption (OTFE). The software can create a virtual encrypted disk that works just like a regular disk, but within a file. It can also encrypt a partition or (in Microsoft Windows) the entire storage device with pre-boot authentication.
