encrypted disks - What?

Question

TrueCrypt

It is necessary to encrypt the entire partition so that it can be accessed both from Windows (XP and higher) and from Linux.

At the moment I'm using TrueCrypt, which allows you to make encrypted disks both from entire partitions and from files (which are used as containers).

What are the alternatives?

Answer 1

DiskCryptor

Answer 2

No matter how much I searched for normal alternatives, I did not find it. And Grub2 is not friendly in TrueCryptLoader, so as an option:
1) abandon Grub2 and use something else that the bootloader writes to the Boot partition and not the MBR
2) Buy a second screw and don't worry. I did just that.

Answer 3

It is very easy to create and mount under Linux.
To create
cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sdb
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb crypto
mkfs.xfs /dev/mapper/crypto
mount /dev/mapper/crypto /home
To mount
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb crypto
mount /dev/mapper/crypto / home -o noatime,nodiratime,osyncisdsync,logbufs=8

Answer 4

Good programs for Windows are Rohos Disk, BestCrypt, Decart Privat disk.
Under Linux, you run them, but through Wine.
