TrueCrypt offers free encryption
Yesterday we mentioned CryptoExpert 2006 Lite, but reader Demetri pointed out a totally free, open-source, cross-platform (Windows and Linux, as the Mac has FileVault built in) disk encryption app called TrueCrypt. Aside from being totally free, TrueCrypt can encrypt entire disks (including floppies and USB drives), partitions, and create virtual, mountable encrypted disks. As an added bonus, there's a hidden volume feature and a masking feature for encrypted volumes. Of course, all the usual encryption algorithms are included, as is LRW mode for better security.
