portable encypted filesystem

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

VeraCrypt is fork which continue the TrueCrypt legacy,
TrueCrypt had some audit (crowd source founded) on the encryption part
(algorithm and stuff), the boot loader,  and the windows kernel driver
(IIRC).

they found few  vulnerabilities at first (3 I think), but nothing critical,
and they were patched in VeraCrypt.

next was a bug in the windows driver which allowed a user/process to gain
SYSTEM privileges.
which also was patched.
