Versie 1.23 van VeraCrypt is uitgekomen. VeraCrypt is een fork van TrueCrypt, dat er een tijdje geleden mee is opgehouden. Met dit opensource-encryptieprogramma kunnen complete harde schijven of partities en virtuele volumes, zoals een bestand dat als partitie wordt benaderd, worden versleuteld. VeraCrypt gebruikt de originele broncode van TrueCrypt, maar bevat diverse verbeteringen met betrekking tot de beveiliging. Volumes die met TrueCrypt zijn aangemaakt kunnen vanaf deze versie wel geopend en geconverteerd worden. De Fransman Mounir Idrassi is al sinds de zomer van 2013 met dit project bezig. De changelog voor deze uitgave kan hieronder worden gevonden.
Windows:MacOSX:
- VeraCrypt is now compatible with default EFI SecureBoot configuration for system encryption.
- Fix EFI system encryption issues on some machines (e.g. HP, Acer).
- Support EFI system encryption on Windows LTSB.
- Add compatibility of system encryption with Windows 10 upgrade using ReflectDrivers mechanism
- Make EFI Rescue Disk decrypt partition correctly when Windows Repair overwrites first partition sector.
- Add Driver option in the UI to explicitly allow Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 defragmenter to see VeraCrypt encrypted disks.
- Add internal verification of binaries embedded signature to protect against some types to tampering attacks.
- Fix Secure Desktop not working for favorites set to mount at logon on Windows 10 under some circumstances.
- when Secure Desktop is enabled, use it for Mount Options dialog if it is displayed before password dialog.
- when extracting files in Setup or Portable mode, decompress zip files docs.zip and Languages.zip in order to have ready to use configuration.
- Display a balloon tip warning message when text pasted to password field is longer than maximum length and so it will be truncated.
- Implement language selection mechanism at the start of the installer to make easier for international users.

- Add CheckBox in mount option dialog to force the use of embedded backup header during mount.
- When performing backup of volume header, automatically try to use embedded backup header if using the main header fails.
- Implement benchmarking UI for Hash and PKCS-5 PRF algorithms.
- Don't allow waiting dialog to be closed before the associated operation is finished. This fix a crash under Lubuntu 16.04.
- Add CheckBox in mount option dialog to force the use of embedded backup header during mount.
- When performing backup of volume header, automatically try to use embedded backup header if using the main header fails.
