As far as FDE goes, yes. But TrueCrypt was rather unique in that it provided (then) trusted cross-platform encrypted containers, not necessarily encrypted disks. I spent several hours last night trying to find a trustworthy, free tool to encrypt some files that would make them accessible across all my OSes (I use Windows, Linux, _and_ OS X). After looking at Ciphershed and Veracrypt, I didn't find confidence in them, so the closest thing I could come up with was one-off style encryption -- eg. GPG. And I just don't see a good workflow wherein every time I want to access a 3 Mb file I have to unencrypt, untarball, access, retarball, reencrypt 100 GB of files. Or write a script that's going to sort through a couple hundred files to ensure they're all encrypted without tarballing. So yeah, now I jump through hoops using one OS's encryption mechanism, and then kinda-sorta sharing the porn to the other OSes in a way that I hope is semi-secure and I try to make sure I clean up after myself. Edit: In the time I wrote this, I see a huge discussion has blown up around TrueCrypt's containers/block encryption. If anyone has a tool that can encrypt a collection of files and make them transparently accessible to other apps in a cross-platform way, I'm all ears.
