[Trisquel-users] Encrypting files on Trisquel

[wifer]

Hi, I would like to create something similar to a 128 encrypted dmg on Linux.  
I mean to encrypt some files inside a volume or package to keep them safe on  
a cloud storage service or email or just to keep them safe inside a common  
usb stick or sd card. I learned about EncFS. I wonder if this is the best way  
for doing so or if Trisquel's got any tool to encrypt files inside a folder  
or virtual volume in the style of dmg's. Would like to ask the community what  
other options about encrypting files on gnu are available. I know about  
truecrypt but it seems it has been discontinued. Thanks for little help!.
