What kind of Encryption does DriveCrypt use?
DriveCrypt uses an AES 256-bit encryption cipher which currently has not been broken. Experts think that this is very strong, and it should be good for at least several decades. Technically speaking, DriveCrypt uses the Rijndael block cipher. Rijndael was also chosen for the “Advanced Encryption Standard” (AES) by the U.S. government . DriveCrypt Enterprise has been awarded FIPS accreditation.
DriveCrypt uses a Government certified FIPS-197, AES 256-bit encryption cipher. Experts agree that this level of encryption is very, very strong, and it would take the largest computing power available hundreds, if not thousands of years to break. Technically speaking, DriveCrypt uses the Rijndael block cipher. Rijndael was also chosen for the “Advanced Encryption Standard” (AES) by the U.S. government . DriveCrypt Enterprise has been awarded FIPS accreditation.
