I am new to mac world...

I would like to have a data/files encryption program like truecrypt in windows platform.

Some people told me that mac os x has such capability of encryption but I dont think it suits my needs.



I want to create a container file(single file) to store my data, encrypted. That's easy.

I want to run it in every windows machine.

The program has to be portable in some way and having a windows version.



Truecrypt has all theses features if you use only windows. But I want to switch to mac.



Here is what I am doing during many years:

I take my encrypted file and the truecrypt folder in a usb flash disk(copied from my hard disk in pc), and everywhere I go (this means windows pc) I can run truecrypt (running the .exe file) and windows system can see the data.



Because of this use, I need an application in mac os x that could have also a windows version, so that I can take my encrypted file to windows pc and start use it. Also this win edition of mac program, should run standalone with no installation, in other words being portable.





Can you please help me telling how can I do it in mac world?

    Something cross-platform and portable.

    What about GnuPG? A Free (as in both beer and speech) cross-platform implementation of PGP, which appears to have gone all corporate and expensive since I last used it.
