The VeraCrypt development team considered the TrueCrypt storage format too vulnerable to a National Security Agency (NSA) attack, so it created a new format incompatible with that of TrueCrypt. VeraCrypt versions prior to 1.26.5 are capable of opening and converting volumes in the TrueCrypt format.

When analyzed, TrueCrypt volumes appear to have no header and contain random data. [43] TrueCrypt volumes have sizes that are multiples of 512 due to the block size of the cipher mode [34] and key data is either 512 bytes stored separately in the case of system encryption or two 128 kB headers for non-system containers. [44]
Added RIPEMD-160, size of a volume was no longer limited to 2048 GB, ability to create NTFS volumes. 2.1a October 1, 2004 Removed IDEA encryption algorithm. Version released on SourceForge.net, which became the official TrueCrypt domain. The official TrueCrypt domain moved back to truecrypt.org again at the beginning of May 2005, and the ...
The hidden volume has its own separate file system, password, and encryption key distinct from the container volume. The content of the hidden volume is encrypted and resides in the free space of the file system of the outer volume—space which would otherwise be filled with random values if the hidden volume did not exist.
VeraCrypt (a successor to a discontinued TrueCrypt), an on-the-fly disk encryption software for Windows, Mac and Linux providing limited deniable encryption [18] and to some extent (due to limitations on the number of hidden volumes which can be created [16]) plausible deniability, without needing to be installed before use as long as the user ...
Logical Volume Management can be used alongside LUKS. [14] LVM on LUKS When LVM is used on an unlocked LUKS container, all underlying partitions (which are LVM logical volumes) can be encrypted with a single key. This is akin to splitting a LUKS container into multiple partitions. The LVM structure is not visible until the disk is decrypted. [15]
Disk encryption is a technology which protects information by converting it into code that cannot be deciphered easily by unauthorized people or processes. Disk encryption uses disk encryption software or hardware to encrypt every bit of data that goes on a disk or disk volume.
