TrueCrypt is a program for establishing and maintaining an encrypted volume (data storage device). On-the-fly encryption means that data are automatically encrypted or decrypted right before they are loaded or saved, without any user intervention. No data stored on an encrypted volume can be read (decrypted) without using the correct password/keyfile or correct encryption keys. The entire file system is encrypted (i.e., file names, contents of every file, meta data, etc).
Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
