Encryption

veracrypt and dm-crypt/LUKS are more geared towards file system encryption. you can encrypt filesystems as files with loop devices on linux.
i would just use tar and GnuPG instead. remember to compress and then encrypt, since you can't compress a file after its been encrypted and all patterns removed.

Just use 7zip m8, AES is as secure as it comes in terms of password encryption.

gpg

how much analysis or auditing has been done on 7-zip encryption?

>>60660687
What are the chances of national authorities breaking the GnuPG encryption?

AES...

>>60660658
Truecrypt 7.1a is the only correct answer.

>openssl aes-256-cbc [options] -out file.enc

>>60660752
if it's used correctly it's the most secure and trusted solution for encrypting files. no cryptosystem is totally unbreakable, however.
>>60660754
you can't just slap AES on something and claim its secure.

Veracrypt containers are great. 7zip, or others that use AES are great too. Take your pick.

ecryptfs is pretty good. just compress shit first. maybe do an encrypted 7zip and then contain that inside an encrypted ecryptfs folder/filesystem?

>Containers
Just tar your shit

Is DiskCryptor still solid? Used it a few years back. But right now I don't really need to encrypt stuff.

>>60660658
LUKS encrypt whole device with veracrypt container inside with your files

the chance that both can be broken is highly improbable

last I checked the audit saw some pretty scary stuff out of veracrypt
seriously, just PGP it.
