Disclaimer: Independent open-source project, not affiliated with or endorsed by IDRIX / Mounir Idrassi. Uses user-space encrypted container vaults rather than kernel FUSE/dm-crypt drive mounts. FEATURES (100% real cryptography, zero mock data): • Encrypted Container Creator & Unlocker: creates binary .evv container files with 64-byte CSPRNG salt, PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512 key derivation + optional keyfile(s) mixing, and 512-bit AES-256-XTS encrypting 4096-byte sectors (uint64 sector tweak). Includes Header Backup/Restore and instant Change Password (re-encrypts master key slot without re-encrypting payload data). • In-Container Encrypted Virtual Filesystem: once unlocked in memory, browse an encrypted allocation table inside container sectors, add files, extract decrypted files with SHA-256 verification, create folders, rename, delete with random sector wipe, compact extents, and inspect the live sector map. • Plausible-Deniability Hidden Volume Area & Security Self-Audit: optional secondary hidden header at Sector 1 encrypting an isolated upper sector range (honestly notes outer writes without mounting the hidden header can overwrite upper sectors unless kept below the boundary), plus built-in IEEE 1619 AES-256-XTS & NIST FIPS-197 live cipher self-verifier.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go. For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*. Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line: ``` sudo apt update sudo apt install snapd ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install Encrypted Volume Vault To install Encrypted Volume Vault, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install encrypted-volume-vault ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
