<div>I saw you had been talking about Truecrypt. I'd been using that to encrypt a folder on a USB stick that I used on several machines, and Truecrypt allowed me to work cross-platform with it. I've been trying to find a suitable alternative - I could manage with a linux only solution. I started off with <a href="http://tom.noflag.org.uk/cryptkeeper.html" target="_blank">Cryptkeeper</a> but haven't managed to get it working across machines, whereas truecrypt just worked.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I was wondering whether anyone else had come up with a good solution, or had done this with cryptkeeper?</div><div><br></div><div>Has anyone come across <a href="https://veracrypt.codeplex.com/" target="_blank">veracrypt</a>, which is a fork of and development on from truecrypt. They mention that they are releasing Linux and Mac clients later this year.</div>
