This article covers how to install VeraCrypt on CentOS 8. VeraCrypt is free open-source disk encryption software for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

  • Encrypts an entire partition or storage device such as USB flash drive or hard drive. 
  • Encryption is automatic, real-time(on-the-fly) and transparent. 
  • Parallelization and pipelining allow data to be read and written as fast as if the drive was not encrypted. 
  • Encryption can be hardware-accelerated on modern processors.
