This week I found a great tool for encrypting files - TrueCrypt. TrueCrypt is OpenSource and allows you to encrypt a whole partition or just files with AES-256, Serpent, or Twofish. These algorithms are very strong so without the selected password it is not possible to get to your data - do not forget your password ;-)

TrueCrypt works under Windows and Linux. It is also perfect for storing files on USB memory sticks. Encrypted files are mounted like partitions and the access speed is really fast.

I also downloaded the free Virtual Appliance for Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn from jars.de. With the free VMware Player you I use it for test purposes under Windows.

    Well, if you have a Mac and OS X it’s already included. Simply create a mountable DMG with HDD Management Tool, which can be either plain or encrypted with AES 128.
    You can predefine a maximum size (perfect for making backups on DVD) or just let it growing. It’s really astonishing, like Steve would say ;-)

    I think Windows Vista also comes with a feature like that built in but this is a nice extension for older Windows installations or Linux systems.
