Scramdisk is a freeon-the-fly encryption program forWindows 95,Windows 98, andWindows Me. A non-free version was also available forWindows NT.
The originalScramdisk is no longer maintained; its author, Shaun Hollingworth, joinedPaul Le Roux (the author ofE4M) to produce Scramdisk's commercial successor,DriveCrypt. The author of Scramdisk provided a driver for Windows 9x, and the author of E4M provided a driver for Windows NT, enabling cross-platform versions of both programs.
There is a new project calledScramdisk 4 Linux which provides access to Scramdisk andTrueCrypt containers.[1] Older versions of TrueCrypt included support for Scramdisk.
Although Scramdisk's source code is still available, it's stated that it was only released and licensed for private study and not for further development.
However, because it contains an implementation of the MISTY1 Encryption Algorithm (by Hironobu Suzuki, a.k.a. H2NP) licensed under theGNU GPL Version 2, it is in violation of the GPL.
