In contrast to file encryption, data encryption performed by VeraCrypt is real-time (on-the-fly), automatic, transparent, needs very little memory, and does not involve temporary unencrypted files."

+ <p>
+ Windows and Linux versions of VeraCrypt offer to use EMV compliant
+ smart cards as a feature. Indeed, the use of PKCS#11 compliant smart
+ cards is dedicated to users with more or less cybersecurity skills.
+ However, in some situations, having such a card strongly reduces the
+ plausible deniability of the user.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ To overcome this problem, the idea is to allow the use of a type of
+ smart card owned by anyone: EMV compliant smart cards. According to
+ the standard of the same name, these cards spread all over the world
+ are used to carry out banking operations. Using internal data of the
+ user's EMV card as keyfiles will strengthen the security of his volume
+ while keeping his denial plausible.
