There are actually two versions of boxcryptor- the older, "classic" version used encFS under the hood, and could even be used to decrypt existing encFS folders. Cloud friendly?: yes, all major providers + WebDAV storage.Linux/Unix: limited (only if using boxcryptor classic).

Basic version is free full versions require yearly subscription. Files are not encrypted or decrypted in-place you will be generating a new file that is encrypted/decrypted each time.ĭescription: A commercial offering with a focus on encrypting local files that are then synced to the cloud storage provider of your choice. This suite would be more suitable for one-off secure file transfer, or deep storage of sensitive files. It is a command-line client, with GUI support provided via context menu integration (ie. Platform Support: (please indicate if support is limited or experimental)Īes crypt is a basic file encryption/decryption tool. License: none found (Free and Open Source) There is somewhat less support for encrypting and decrypting individual files on mobile devices.ĭescription: Basic file encryption/decryption tool available on a variety of platforms. There are many options across platforms for encrypting emails with PGP as well as managing keys.

Android: partial (used for OS encryption, but not available for other storage)Ĭurrently, dm-crypt has limited cross-platform support, but the FreeOTFE program would allow a Windows user to mount a dm-crypt protected thumb drive, as long as the formatting inside was windows-compatible (like Fat32).Windows: yes, via FreeOTFE (provided filesystem is Windows-compatible).Supported ciphers: aes-256, others can be compiled inĮncryption layer: block-level, can contain various filesystems

How to Encrypt Cloud Storage on Linux and Windows with EncFSīlog post: EncFS & Dropbox for Linux/Android/Windows/MacOSXĭescription: Linux-native disk encryption, a standard option for many Linux distributions. Many cloud-based encryption services seem to borrow from encFS in their methodology. The tradeoff is that others can see how many files are encrypted in your folder (though not their names or contents). It also makes for a more "cloud-friendly" encryption option, as you will be syncing only modified files and not the entire container. This makes encrypted content more resistant to bitrot (as one bad bit can destroy an entire truecrypt container).
It also only supports containers with certain formats and algorithms.ĭescription:Encrypted filesystem that runs in user-space, using FUSE library and Linux kernel modules. It does not manage mounting of truecrypt volumes. TruPax allows you to create and extract truecrypt containers, similar to an archiving utility. Supported ciphers: AES-256, maybe more via command line You can use the template I have below, or just put in a blurb with what you know and I will add it in when I get the chance.ĭescription: Java-based app for creating/managing truecrypt containers built from the ground up. Suggestions are welcome! I will add them to the list in the below format. I will post audit info as well if I come across any (or if you mention it in a post). This forum post is an attempt to sift through the more popular options, and provide some basic info on their capabilities. With the Truecrypt project abandoned, I see a lot of clamoring in comment sections about suitable alternatives.
