* '''Custom authentication''': Whether custom authentication mechanisms can be implemented with third-party applications.{{clarify|e.g. perhaps link to WP's article re: 1-time password (OTP) tokens? See Talk Page: someone else also was confused about exactly what this includes; pls give some examples & links.|date=January 2011}}

* '''Multiple keys''': Whether an encrypted volume can have more than one active [[Key (cryptography)|key]].

* '''Passphrase strengthening''': Whether [[key strengthening]] is used with plain text passwords to frustrate [[dictionary attack]]s, usually using [[PBKDF2]] or [[Argon2]].

* '''Hardware acceleration''': Whether dedicated [[cryptographic accelerator]] expansion cards can be taken advantage of.

* '''[[Trusted Platform Module]]''': Whether the implementation can use a TPM [[cryptoprocessor]].

<ref name=BitLockerFS>Windows 7 introduces Bitlocker-To-Go which supports NTFS, FAT32 or exFAT, however for hard drive encryption, [[Windows Vista]] and later are limited to be installable only on NTFS volumes</ref>

<ref name=dm-cryptTPM>An external tool can be used to read the key from the TPM and then have the key passed on to dm-crypt/LUKS via the [[standard input]]</ref>

<ref name=TrueCryptMystery>The current situation around TrueCrypt project is controversial. On 28.05.2014 after many years of development and broad usage the open-source (although anonymous) project was suddenly stopped, and all previous official materials and complete (encrypt/decrypt) binaries were withdrawn from its website citing some "unfixed security issues" and Windows XP end of support. The technical information herein is valid only for previous versions of TrueCrypt (v7.1a and some earlier). The latest available version (v7.2) is decrypt only, its authenticity and actual reasons behind the move are unclear, and its usage is not recommended. httphttps://www.zdnet.com/article/truecrypt-quits-inexplicable-7000029994/</ref>
