veracrypt
VeraCrypt is software for establishing and maintaining an on-the-fly-encrypted volume (data storage device). On-the-fly encryption means that data is automatically encrypted right before it is saved and decrypted right after it is loaded, without any user intervention. No data stored on an encrypted volume can be read (decrypted) without using the correct password/keyfile(s) or correct encryption keys. Entire file system is encrypted (e.g., file names, folder names, contents of every file, free space, meta data, etc).
It is based on original TrueCrypt 7.1a with security enhancements and modifications.

(revision 4)
- updated to 1.26.7
- Security: Ensure that XTS primary key is different from the secondary key when creating volumes
- Issue unlikely to happen thanks to random generator properties but this check must be added to prevent attacks
- Reference: CCSS,NSA comment at page 3: https://csrc.nist.gov/csrc/media/Projects/crypto-publication-review-project/documents/initial-comments/sp800-38e-initial-public-comments-2021.pdf
- Remove TrueCrypt Mode support. Version 1.25.9 can be used to mount or convert TrueCrypt volumes.
- Complete removal of RIPEMD160 and GOST89 algorithms. Legacy volumes using any of them cannot be mounted by VeraCrypt anymore.
- Add support for BLAKE2s as new PRF algorithm for both system encryption and standard volumes.
- Introducing support for EMV banking smart cards as keyfiles for non-system volumes.
- No need for a separate PKCS#11 module configuration.
- Card PIN isn't required.
- Generates secure keyfile content from unique, encoded data present on the banking card.
- Supports all EMV standard-compliant banking cards.
- Can be enabled in settings (go to Settings->Security Tokens).
- Developed by a team of students from the Institut national des sciences appliquées de Rennes.
- More details about the team and the project are available at https://projets-info.insa-rennes.fr/projets/2022/VeraCrypt/index_en.html.
- When overwriting an existing file container during volume creation, add its current size to the available free space
- Add Corsican language support. Update several translations.
- Update documentation
- add package veracrypt-lang
- add package veracrypt-doc
- add man pages
- add mount.veracrypt for system mounts
- prevent uninstalling with mounted VeraCrypt volumes
