TrueCrypt Advantages

One advantage to using TrueCrypt on your PC is that it Encrypts data "on-the-fly." This means that data will be encrypted and decrypted much faster than previous encryption schemes. Encryption will be faster and less time-consuming. However, the PC still needs to process the encryption command, so it won't be as fast as a computer without TrueCrypt. Another advantage is that TrueCryot uses special coding that is given to the user so that the device doesn't need to be used on a specific computer and data can be transferred easier. However, if the user forgets their password, then they will not be able to retrieve their data and will have to spend time figuring out how to change or recover their password, or their data will be as good as lost. A third advantage is that the user's data will be encrypted so that no one else can use it. This protects personal information from being stolen. however, if the user's password is stolen and the hacker also has or is familiar with TureCrypt, then they can steal the password and access the uer's information. However, this would take longer than stealing unprotected information, and having to tak ethe extra time may discourage a hacker and cause them to look for a different victum.
