<title>VeraCrypt - Free Open source disk encryption with strong security for the Paranoid</title>
<meta name="description" content="VeraCrypt is free open-source disk encryption software for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. In case an attacker forces you to reveal the password, VeraCrypt provides plausible deniability. 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."/>

Language packs contain third-party translations of the VeraCrypt user interface texts. Note that language packs are currently supported only by the Windows version of VeraCrypt.</div>

Since version 1.0e, all language packs are included in the VeraCrypt Windows installer and they can be found in VeraCrypt installation directory. To select a new language, run VeraCrypt, select
<em style="text-align:left">Settings </em>-&gt; <em style="text-align:left">Language</em>, then select your language and click
<em style="text-align:left">OK</em>.</div>
<div style="text-align:left; margin-top:19px; margin-bottom:19px; padding-top:0px; padding-bottom:0px">

natures have the following advantages, in comparison to PGP signatures:</p> <ul> <li>It is much easier to verify that the key that signed the file is really ours (not attacker&rsquo;s). </li><li>You do not have to download or install any extra software to verify an X.509 signature (see below). </li><li>You do not have to download and import our public key (it is embedded in the signed file). </li><li>You do not have to download any separate signature file (the signature is embedded in the signed file). </li></ul> <h3>Advantages of PGP Signatures</h3> <p>PGP signatures have the following advantages, in comparison to X.509 signatures:</p> <ul> <li>They do not depend on any certificate authority (which might be e.g. infiltrated or controlled by an adversary, or be untrustworthy for other reasons). </li></ul> <h3>How to Verify X.509 Signatures</h3> <p>Please note that X.509 signatures are currently available only for the VeraCrypt self-extracting installation packages for Windows. An X.509 digital signature is embedded in each of those files along with the digital certificate of the VeraCrypt Foundation issued by a public certification authority. To verify the integrity and authenticity of a self-extracting installation package for Windows, follow these steps:</p> <ol> <li>Download the VeraCrypt self-extracting installation package. </li><li>In the Windows Explorer, click the downloaded file (&lsquo;<em>VeraCrypt Setup.exe</em>&rsquo;) with the right mouse button and select &lsquo;<em>Properties</em>&rsquo; from the context menu. </li><li>In the <em>Properties</em> dialog window, select the &lsquo;<em>Digital Signatures</em>&rsquo; tab. </li><li>On the &lsquo;<em>Digital Signatures</em>&rsquo; tab, in the &lsquo;<em>Signature list</em>&rsquo;, double click the line saying &quot;<em>IDRIX</em>&quot; or <em>&quot;IDRIX SARL&quot;</em>. </li><li>The &lsquo;<em>Digital Signature Details</em>&rsquo; dialog window should appear now. If you see the following sentence at the top of the dialog window, then the integrity and authenticity of the package have been successfully verified:<br> <br> &quot;<em>This digital signature is OK.</em>&quot;<br> <br> If you do not see the above sentence, the file is very likely corrupted. Note: On some obsolete versions of Windows, some of the necessary certificates are missing, which causes the signature verification to fail. </li></ol> <h3 id="VerifyPGPSignature">How to Verify PGP Signatures</h3> <p>To verify a PGP signature, follow these steps:</p> <ol> <li>Install any public-key encryption software that supports PGP signatures. For Windows, you can download <a href="http://www.gpg4win.org/" target="_blank">Gpg4win</a>. For more information, you can visit <a href="https://www.gnupg.org/">https://www.gnupg.org/</a>. </li> <li>Create a private key (for information on how to do so, please see the documentation for the public-key encryption software).</li> <li>Download our PGP public key from <strong>IDRIX</strong> website (<a href="https://www.idrix.fr/VeraCrypt/VeraCrypt_PGP_public_key.asc" target="_blank">https://www.idrix.fr/VeraCrypt/VeraCrypt_PGP_public_key.asc</a>) or from a trusted public key repository (ID=0x680D16DE), and import the downloaded key to your keyring (for information on how to do so, please see the documentation for the public-key encryption software). Please check that its fingerprint is <strong>5069A233D55A0EEB174A5FC3821ACD02680D16DE</strong>. <ul> <li>For VeraCrypt version 1.22 and below, the verification must use the PGP public key available at <a href="https://www.idrix.fr/VeraCrypt/VeraCrypt_PGP_public_key_2014.asc" target="_blank">https://www.idrix.fr/VeraCrypt/VeraCrypt_PGP_public_key_2014.asc</a> or from a trusted public key repository (ID=0x54DDD393), whose fingerprint is <strong>993B7D7E8E413809828F0F29EB559C7C54DDD393</strong>. </li> </ul> </li> <li>Sign the imported key with your private key to mark it as trusted (for information on how to do so, please see the documentation for the public-key encryption software).<br> <br> Note: If you skip this step and attempt to verify any of our PGP signatures, you will receive an error message stating that the signing key is invalid. </li> <li>Download the digital signature by downloading the <em>PGP Signature</em> of the file you want to verify (on the <a href="https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Downloads.html">Downloads page</a>). </li> <li>Verify the downloaded signature (for information on how to do so, please see the documentation for the public-key encryption software).</li> </ol> <p>Under Linux, these steps can be achieved using the following commands:</p> <ul> <li>Check that the fingerprint of the public key is <strong>5069A233D55A0EEB174A5FC3821ACD02680D16DE</strong>:<strong>gpg --import --import-options show-only VeraCrypt_PGP_public_key.asc</strong> (for older gpg versions, type instead: <strong>gpg --with-fingerprint VeraCrypt_PGP_public_key.asc</strong>)</li><li>If the fingerprint is the expected one, import the public key: <strong>gpg --import VeraCrypt_PGP_public_key.asc</strong> </li><li>Verify the signature of the Linux setup archive (here for version 1.23): <strong> gpg --verify veracrypt-1.23-setup.tar.bz2.sig veracrypt-1.23-setup.tar.bz2</strong> </li></ul> </div><div class="ClearBoth"></div></body></html>
