| Open and modify existing volumes | Yes | Yes |
| Encrypted partitions (or entire disks)¹ | Yes | Yes |

Правдоподобное отрицание (иногда также легальный отказ): в некоторых случаях (например, при использовании скрытых томов VeraCrypt) злоумышленник не может технически доказать существование зашифрованного тома.
Still, deniable encryption might not protect you if you are forced to reveal the existence of the encrypted volume. See VeraCrypt: Plausible Deniability.
