Do you have sensitive files to protect? If you answered yes to either of those questions then you would benefit from encrypting your drive with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/VeraCrypt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VeraCrypt<\/a>. In this tutorial you will learn how to download, install, and setup encryption with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/VeraCrypt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VeraCrypt<\/a> in Linux. One of the primary reasons to use <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/VeraCrypt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VeraCrypt<\/a> is that it is an opensource replacement for the now defunct <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/TrueCrypt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TrueCrypt<\/a>. Another benefit to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/VeraCrypt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VeraCrypt<\/a> is the ability to encrypt both <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/436AsF2\">flash drives<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3CXD65t\">hard disks<\/a>. You also have the ability to create encrypted file containers. It supports the most popular encryption algorithms such as <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Advanced_Encryption_Standard\">AES<\/a> 256 and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Advanced_Encryption_Standard\">AES<\/a> 512. All said you will get a much more robust and secure encryption solution compared to any paid encryption software you could purchase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add the required repository<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is to add the repository to your packages list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:unit193\/encryption<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Update Ubuntu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The next thing you will want do do is update and upgrade Ubuntu 22.04. To do that simply open a terminal and run the following command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><code>sudo apt update &amp;&amp; sudo apt upgrade<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Download and install VeraCrypt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The last step is to install VeraCrypt. You can do so with this command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><code>sudo apt install veracrypt<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Encrypting a volume<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this section of the tutorial you will learn how to create the encrypted flash drive partition using VeraCrypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Launching VeraCrypt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can launch VeraCrypt by searching for it in your systems start menu or app folder. After you launch the program click on &#8220;Select Device&#8230;&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"837\" height=\"882\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-main-screen.jpg\" alt=\"veracrypt encryption screen\" class=\"wp-image-262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-main-screen.jpg 837w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-main-screen-285x300.jpg 285w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-main-screen-768x809.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 837px) 100vw, 837px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Selecting a device to encrypt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A window will pop up showing all of the storage devices on your computer.
