When the computer hibernates, data are encrypted on the fly before they are written to the hibernation file.</p> <p>When a computer hibernates (or enters a power-saving mode), the content of its system memory is written to a so-called hibernation file on the hard drive. You can configure VeraCrypt (<em>Settings</em> > -<em>Preferences</em> > <em>Dismount all when: Entering power saving mode</em>) to automatically dismount all mounted VeraCrypt volumes, erase their master keys stored in RAM, and cached passwords (stored in RAM), if there are any, before a computer hibernates +<em>Preferences</em> > <em>Unmount all when: Entering power saving mode</em>) to automatically unmount all mounted VeraCrypt volumes, erase their master keys stored in RAM, and cached passwords (stored in RAM), if there are any, before a computer hibernates (or enters a power-saving mode). However, keep in mind, that if you do not use system encryption (see the chapter <a href="System%20Encryption.html"><em>System Encryption</em></a>), VeraCrypt still cannot reliably prevent the contents of sensitive files opened in RAM from being saved unencrypted to a hibernation file. Note that when you open a file stored on a VeraCrypt volume, for example, in a text editor, then the content of the file is stored unencrypted in RAM (and it may remain unencrypted in RAM until the computer is turned off).<br> |
