Offers AES 256 bit, full disk encryption and pre-boot authentication. Able to protect the entire computer includingthe operating system(OS), in real time. DCPP is the only one able to hide the entire OS, and also works with external USB-Token.
Version: 3.9DriveCrypt Plus Pack (DCPP) is a Full disk encryption software package which encrypts the operating system, and allows pre-boot authentication.

The user can enter a password on computer start up, before the operating system boots up. DCPP is the only software on the market abel to hide the entire operating system inside another operating system.
This is especially usefull if you are forced to reveal the password to an attacker. In this case he will only see prelared data. DCPP is the fastest and most feature-rich real-time encryption system available, Special care has
been taken to render all cryptographic parts as invisible & transparent as possible.
DriveCrypt Plus Pack provides true real-time "on the fly" 256-bit disk encryption. Providing advanced FDE (Full disk encryption) as opposed to
VDE (Virtual disk encryption) or "container" encryption. DCPP allows you to secure your disk(s) (including removable media) with a powerful and proven encryption algorithm (AES-256) at the sector level, ensuring that only authorized users may access it.
The encryption algorithm used by DCPP is a trusted, validated algorithm chosen by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and slated to be the cryptographic standard for years to come.
AES-256 is a FIPS-approved symmetric encryption algorithm that may be used by U.S. Government organizations (and others) to protect sensitive information. DCPP is automatic and completely transparent to the user.
Not only does this decrease user involvement and training requirements, but also it creates the foundation for enforceable security. The careful integration of boot protection and automatic encryption provides a high degree of security with minimal impact on users.
Boot protection prevents subversion of the operating system (via floppy boot- up, for example) or the introduction of rogue programs while sector by sector encryption makes it impossible to copy individual files for brute force a
Version 3.5: Allows to customize the pre-boot screen;. Hides an entire Operating System inside the free space of anothher operating system;. . . .
Version 3.0: Hidden Operating System: DCPP is the only software on the market, able to hide an entire operating system inside the free disk space of another operating system. You can practically define two passwords for your DCPP encrypted disk: One password is for the visible operating system, the other for the invisible one. The first "fake" password gives you access to a pre-configured operating system (outer OS), while the other gives you access to your real working operating system. This functionality is extremely useful if you fear that someone may force you to provide the DCPP password; in this case, you simply give away the first (fake) password so that your attacker will be able to boot your system, but only see the prepared information that you want him to find. The attacker will not be able to see any confidential and personal data and he will also not be able to understand that the machine is storing one more hidden operating system. On the other hand, if you enter your private password (for the invisible disk), your system will boot a different operating system (your working system) giving you the access to all your confidential data. The creation of a hidden operating system is not obligatory and as such, it is not possible for anyone who does not have the hidden OS password to know or find out, if a hidden operating system exists or not.
