Software Update: VeraCrypt 1.26.12 – Computer – Downloads

VeraCrypt version 1.26.12 has been released, a development release. VeraCrypt originated as a fork of TrueCrypt, an open source encryption software that can be used to encrypt a hard drive, partition, or virtual volume. VeraCrypt uses the original TrueCrypt source code, but includes several security improvements. Previously, it was possible to open and convert volumes created with TrueCrypt, but this is no longer possible in this release.
