HELSINKI, Finland - June 5, 2014 – In the wake of last week's discontinuation of TrueCrypt, data protection software developer Jetico welcomes TrueCrypt users with a painless, copy-paste migration to BestCrypt data encryption software. In addition, Jetico has published source codes to prove there are no backdoors or related vulnerabilities.

Jetico's BestCrypt encryption software is commercially maintained and is the industry's most reliablesolution to support disk and file encryption of Windows 8 and UEFI computers. Pricing starts at $44.95 (with 25% discount for TrueCrypt users).
"Jetico's BestCrypt actually exceeds TrueCrypt's open source encryption software capabilities," says Michael Waksman, CEO of Jetico. "TrueCrypt was modeled after Jetico's encryption software, which we began developing in 1995, nearly a decade ahead of TrueCrypt's arrival. The similar 'volume' and 'container' structure has helped our business over the years as TrueCrypt users looking for more features and support have switched to Jetico's BestCrypt. Our commercially maintained software offers advanced features and is professionally updated – ensuring that you have reliable, ongoing data protection. If you like TrueCrypt, then you will love us!"
Transparent encryption, hidden or deniable encryption, container-level compatibility across Windows, Linux and Mac and user-friendly interface based on 'drag and drop', are all features of Jetico's TrueCrypt alternative. BestCrypt Container Encryption stores selected files and folders in virtual drives, while BestCrypt Volume Encryption is a more flexible alternative to full disk encryption, offering full support for RAID.
For anyone worried about backdoors hiding in commercial encryption software, Jetico has addressed that concern by opening the source codes of its encryption and key generation modules. Download BestCrypt Development Kit.
