For a long while now, I've used the Truecrypt app for encrypted files. It is fast, handy, and importantly for me, works on both Windows and Mac OS X. It is, however, no longer supported by the anonymous and enigmatic creator. The final word was, quote, "Yes... TrueCrypt is still safe to use", but it doesn't hurt to start looking for alternatives. Does anyone have a recommendation? Note cross platform compatibility is a must for my use. Thanks much.
