I just want to encrypt a few sensitive files, not going ballsdeep

what a coincidence, i'm currently encrypting my local drive with veracrypt after Hansa got fucked by the feds.
i also went the easy route and used bitlocker on my other drives, just because. i thought TrueCrypt got discontinued and that VC is basically the new fork.

VeraCrypt is the best option

>>61520230
Ciphershed

GnuPG.

>bitlocker
lol

If I am doing dual boot is this going to cause me any issues when I try access the other drive or do you just enter your password?

>>61520230
xor

>>61520441
after grub you'll get the luks or whatever password screen, then you login

Second this, for very simple requirements. EcryptFS is an alternative, but i haven't checked if it's available for windows or not.

I never tend to encrypt the drive the OS is on rather the drive due to slowing it down.

>>61520230
use veracrypt

truecrypt is outdated as fuck, don't let any dumbass here fool you into using unmaintained software.

Is 7z with a password safe? They use 256aes. Don't they?

>>61520916
it's hardly noticeable on modern equipment

>>61520962
Yes it's pretty safe, Haven't looked too much into it but if it's using 256 then go for it.

Would you happen to know the speed difference between with and without?

>>61520230
ecryptfs
while a powerful and thus complex tool, it usually comes with a justwerks-script that lets you create an encrypted directory in ~/Private

>>61520230
If you only want to encrypt a few files (and not keep them inside some big container) then use GPG. E.G:

gpg -c unsafe_file.txt
gpg encrypted.txt.gpg

It prompts you for passwords.

Just use rot13
