Need an encryption tool with GUI

[linuxyogi]

Hi,

I am searching for an encryption tool like TrueCrypt which can create mountable encrypted volumes.

I want this mainly because I want to back up some sensitive data to the cloud.

Please suggest me something which has strong encryption capabilities and has a GUI frontend.

TrueCrypt is still available via their PPA

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stefansundin/truecrypt
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install truecrypt

It may be possible to still install it but Wikipedia says its discontinued. So can it be trusted anymore ?

Wiki Page

TrueCrypt is a discontinued source-available freeware utility used for on-the-fly encryption (OTFE).

In my opinion, yes.

truecrypt.ch or crypt shack or whatever it's name will be is continuing the work along with another group and new version is being audited. they managed to get the funding for it from some big players.

It was never discovered what the vulnerability of truecrypt was. the true reason of discontinuation therefore seems to remain a mystery. and it was developed by basically an unknown entity.
