My scenario is simply replacing TrueCrypt volumes.<p>I use TrueCrypt volumes to store personal files like scans of passport, credit card info, 2FA codes, etc.<p>These volumes are then on NAS or USB sticks, though a couple are in Dropbox for emergency remote access (those 2FA codes).<p>I primarily access everything via Linux, but the emergency scenario means I would like to be able to access via Windows and/or Mac.<p>I'm looking for super-simple, and ideally packaged binaries that do not need elevated privileges to run... as these deal with the emergency scenarios.
I have been trying out alternatives for more than 1 year and I feel nothing good & reliable exists for Windows (other than BitLocker - need to upgrade to enterprise/utimate/pro). The feature set of Truecrypt was pretty neat.<p>I doubt there'll be a good alternative anytime soon. I'm guessing the data is sensitive enough that you don't want to experiment with tools that aren't widely adopted.
Mac: FileVault for FDE, encrypted disk images for files.<p>Linux: dm-crypt for FDE, gpg for files -- or dm-crypt with loopback volumes.<p>Windows: BitLocker for FDE (unless you are a potential US IC target, but then why would you use an OS from a company who has a proven history of being eager to work with the US IC), gpg for files.
