Summary

VeraCrypt, a fork of TrueCrypt 7.1a with security enhancements, has its source code on GitHub. Building on Windows requires a digital signature from GlobalSign for driver compatibility on 64-bit systems, while Linux and macOS builds depend on GNU Make, GCC 4.0+, YASM 1.3.0+, wxWidgets 3.0, FUSE, and PCSC-lite. The repository includes pre-built EFI boot loader binaries under LGPL, with separate source at VeraCrypt-DCS.
