Encrypting files, some files, not the entire drive, whether they be on a remote share, NAS, your desktop, or any file system.
Solutions: Windows, Linux, compatible OS... Android?
Candidates
- True Crypt - Free open-source disk encryption software for Windows 7/Vista/XP, Mac OS X, and Linux.
Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk.
This isn't for encrypting a selected file or files, where they reside. Instead, you get a volume where you have to move those file to that you want encrypted. That volume, and its entire directory structure including files, are all actually stored in one giant file, like an archive, which is a virtual drive mounted as a file system of its own. Think of virtualbox meets pkzip, sort of.
