Alternative to TrueCrypt 7.1a

[SHA256CryptoTrading]

Hi there. Any good alternative for TrueCrypt to create encrypted volume files that is open source and maybe even trustable?
And please don't don't don't tell me Microsoft's Bitlocker.

Thanks!

TrueCrypt is portable. But try one of these http://www.maketecheasier.com/truecrypt-alternatives/

The selection is interesting but you can try CryptSync as well, it's got some nice automatic features and uses built in 7z encryption, so you can always decrypt your files externally.
You can easily set it up to replicate on some NAS, GDrive, Dropbox... However it does not do plausible deniability or volume encryption.

TrueCrypt is the best among all out there. I have use it and a other one called AES Crypt but it's for individual file encryption only.

Currently there are not such a software as TrueCrypt, simple as that

After some research I still stick to TC 7.1a. Works fine on Win 8.1
Not tried system encryption though.

There are many alternatives but tc is the best.

True crypt for the win there are alot of encryption software based on it and it is very very good for a free open source software. i suppose it depends what you want to encrypt really. and how you want to use it truecrypt can be a bit of a pain iv deleted the .file extension a few time by accident XD

The natural successor to TrueCrypt (unless the guys at TCNext can come up with something better) is VeraCrypt. The (French) developer took TrueCrypt's code and fixed the weaknesses found during the security audit performed on TC. The main enhancements and corrections done so far are listed on this post.

VeraCrypt's dev is also very active on the TCNext forums with the username IDRIX, and unlike the devs of TC, who never revealed their identities, he isn't afraid to reveal his real name, picture and personal info. On this topic, he answers lots of questions related to VeraCrypt.

The second free and open source alternative I'd recommend is DiskCryptor. It's main drawback is that, unlike TrueCrypt and VeraCrypt, it's only available for Windows. Also, it's developed by anonymous Russians, so there's that.

This is a convincing argument to give VeraCrypt a try. Thanks. +++

Just note that VeraCrypt doesn't support TrueCrypt volumes. If you have stuff encrypted with TC, decrypt it before using VeraCrypt. Here is IDRIX's explanation for the incompatibility:

Since 2013, we choose to enhance the key derivation because the TrueCrypt approach doesn't offer the same security as in 2004 when it was released. This explains why TrueCrypt containers can't be supported anymore in VeraCrypt (a conversion tool is planned).

Other than that, VeraCrypt should work just like TrueCrypt.
