Enhance Rescue Disk implementation of restoring VeraCrypt loader.Implement new actions “shutdown” and “reboot” for EFI DcsProp config file.Set default timeout value to 3 minutes and default timeout action to “shutdown”. Implement timeout mechanism for password input.Several enhancements and fixes for EFI bootloader:.Fix issue related to Windows Update breaking VeraCrypt UEFI bootloader.MBR Bootloader: workaround for issue affecting creation of hidden OS on some SSD drives.MBR Bootloader: dynamically determine boot loader memory segment instead of hardcoded values (proposed by neos6464).Add new driver entry point that can be called by applications to erase encryption keys from memory in case of emergency.Add option when system encryption is used to erase all encryption keys from memory when a new device is connected to the system.Erase system encryption keys from memory during shutdown/reboot to help mitigate some cold boot attacks.Mitigate some memory attacks by making VeraCrypt applications memory inaccessible to non-admin users (based on KeePassXC implementation).Side effect: Windows Hibernate is not possible if VeraCrypt System Encryption is also being used.Implement RAM encryption for keys and passwords using ChaCha12 cipher, t1ha non-cryptographic fast hash and ChaCha20 based CSPRNG.Add detection of RDRAND/RDSEED CPU features. Fix detection of CPU features AVX2/BMI2.Speed optimization of XTS mode on 64-bit machine using SSE2 (up to 10% faster).Use Hardware RNG based on CPU timing jitter “Jitterentropy” by Stephan Mueller as a good alternative to CPU RDRAND ().
Add option to use legacy maximum password length (64) instead of new one for compatibility reasons.Increase password maximum length to 128 bytes in UTF-8 encoding for non-system volumes.Jump over the break to check out the changelog: If you’re new to VeraCrypt, you can check our beginner’s guide to Veracrypt.
