Now you are presented with encryption options. You can choose any of these encryption algorithms since they are all very secure, but AES is much faster than the others and is widely used. If you are not sure what to select here, you can use the default settings. Next, choose a good password for the outer volume. Then choose the file system for the outer volume. Next, move your mouse as randomly as possible within the VeraCrypt window to generate randomness for VeraCrypt encryption. Once the randomness bar reaches the end, click the Format button and select Yes to continue. Once the outer volume is formatted, it will be automatically mounted as /media/veracrypt1/ by VeraCrypt. Click the Open outer volume button to open this directory in your file manager and put some files in it. Once the outer volume has some files, click the Next button. VeraCrypt will guide you to create the hidden volume. You will need to choose an encryption algorithm and hash algorithm for the hidden volume. Hidden volume: Serpent (Twofish(AES)), Whirlpool.It’s a good practice to use different algorithm this time. ( Note: sometimes VeraCrypt might not allow you to continue without specifying a smaller size.) You can enter a number or choose all available free space. Then set a password for the hidden volume. It must be different from the outer volume password.Ĭhoose a file system format for the hidden volume. Move your mouse as randomly as possible within the VeraCrypt window to generate randomness for VeraCrypt encryption.
