    TrueCrypt was discontinued in mysterious circumstances. The code was taken forward by VeraCrypt. It is open source and some security vulnerabilities have been fixed since the TrueCrypt days. It's a great app for creating encrypted containers or encrypting whole drives. Backwards compatible with TrueCrypt. Truly excellent software.

    An almost identical interface to TrueCrypt but added security that closes a security hole in TrueCrypt.

    It carries forward the classic TrueCrypt UI, which means that any TrueCrypt user can use it easily.
