  7. <meta name="description" content="VeraCrypt is free open-source disk encryption software for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. In case an attacker forces you to reveal the password, VeraCrypt provides plausible deniability. In contrast to file encryption, data encryption performed by VeraCrypt is real-time (on-the-fly), automatic, transparent, needs very little memory, and does not involve temporary unencrypted files."/>

  32. <h1>VeraCrypt Volume</h1>
  33. <p>There are two types of VeraCrypt volumes:</p>
  34. <ul>
  35. <li>File-hosted (container) </li><li>Partition/device-hosted (non-system) </li></ul>
  36. <p>Note: In addition to creating the above types of virtual volumes, VeraCrypt can encrypt a physical partition/drive where Windows is installed (for more information, see the chapter
  37. <a href="System%20Encryption.html"><em>System Encryption</em></a>).<br>
  38. <br>
  39. A VeraCrypt file-hosted volume is a normal file, which can reside on any type of storage device. It contains (hosts) a completely independent encrypted virtual disk device.<br>
  40. <br>
  41. A VeraCrypt partition is a hard disk partition encrypted using VeraCrypt. You can also encrypt entire hard disks, USB hard disks, USB memory sticks, and other types of storage devices.</p>
