[blindlaw] Hard Drive Encryption

[Aaron Cannon]

I used to use Truecrypt. That software is no longer available, but it has been revived in a program called Veracrypt.

In Truecrypt, I was able to reliably able to determine when the password prompt appeared by pressing the down arrow key, which would cause the computer to beep. Because the prompt appears before the operating system has even loaded, that's about as good as it gets in terms of accessibility.

To be clear, I don't know if this specific feature has been carried over into Veracrypt, but I'd say it's reasonably likely.

I have thought of using Seeing AI to scan for a password prompt, but our IT department has said that if there is a more accessible solution, they would prefer to go that route and install a program that meets everyone’s needs. (I have to commend them for proactively coming to me with this question.)
