east-tec SafeBit Alternatives
east-tec SafeBit is described as 'is the perfect electronic vault you need for your privacy' and is a Disk Encryption Tool in the Security & Privacy category. There are more than 10 alternatives to east-tec SafeBit for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, Android and BSD. The best alternative is LUKS, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like east-tec SafeBit are EncFS (Free, Open Source), EDS (Encrypted Data Store) (Freemium, Open Source), Zed! (Freemium) and LibreCrypt (Free, Open Source).
- LUKS is the standard for Linux hard disk encryption. By providing a standard on-disk-format, it does not only facilitate compatibility among distributions, but also provides secure management of multiple user passwords.
- EncFS provides an encrypted filesystem in user-space. It runs without any special permissions and uses the FUSE library and Linux kernel module to provide the filesystem interface. You can find links to source and binary releases below.
