There's no way this is legit, but if it is, what other kind of cross-platform solution is available? I need to be able to encrypt/decrypt on all 3 major OSes.

- rio517 12y agoI'm in a similar position. I dualboot and have a truecrypt volume I share between Linux mint and Win7. Works great.
- alecdbrooks 12y agoMaybe EncFS [0]? Its Windows port is experimental, alas. I suppose it would be suitable if you were willing to make frequent backups. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EncFS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EncFS
- Eiwatah4 12y agoThere is a relatively recent audit[1] of EncFS with some damning results. I really wouldn't use it. [1]: https://defuse.ca/audits/encfs.htm https://defuse.ca/audits/encfs.htm
- ars 12y ago> damning results They didn't seem that severe to me, they seemed pretty minor actually. Especially if your attack vector is solely a read attack rather than a read-write attack. Which one got you worried?
- TheLoneWolfling 12y ago> EncFS is probably safe as long as the adversary only gets one copy of the ciphertext and nothing more. EncFS is not safe if the adversary has the opportunity to see two or more snapshots of the ciphertext at different times. EncFS attempts to protect files from malicious modification, but there are serious problems with this feature. Which, seeing as my current major use case is to lock down Dropbox, kind of renders it useless for me.
- bothuman 12y agoEncFS is horrible. However you should not use XTS with Dropbox http://sockpuppet.org/blog/2014/04/30/you-dont-want-xts/ http://sockpuppet.org/blog/2014/04/30/you-dont-want-xts/
