Tips to Use
TrueCrypt is a pure open-source encryption software application. It runs on Linux, Windows and Mac OS.
The encryption techniques are current and offer an excellent free way to secure your data via TrueCrypt volumes. You can create volumes on your local disk, USB sticks, attached drives...anything that you can create an filesystem type on you can create a TrueCrypt volume on. You can even create encrypted volumes within encrypted volumes
One caveat, there is no recovery of the volume. Should you lose your password you have lost access. There are no backdoor or password recovery options available.
