TrueCrypt, an encryption tool, is available for download to students and faculty through TigerWare.TrueCrypt is a free and open source program that runs on Windows and Macs. Files can be copied in TrueCrypt through simple drag-and-drop operations.”It’s just like adding another folder, and anything you put in there becomes encrypted,” said Sheri Thompson, Information Technology communications and planning officer. “But you have to make sure that you have the access to get to it.”A password is required to recover the encrypted data. It allows the file to decrypt and become readable, Thompson said.—-Contact Leslie Presnall at [email protected]
