    Hard disk encryption software for Vista 64-bit

    As the title says, has anyone found hard disk encryption software for Vista 64-bit?

    I don't want to use bitlocker as I don't have a TPM and don't trust there to be no vulnerability in bitlocker in the future. PGP does support 64-bit yet.

    Truecrypt may be vista compatable.

    Thanks, I'm looking for commerical software if possible that can encrypt removable devices and allow offline access to the device in another PC. PGP does this for 32-bit, but refuses to do it for 64-bit as the demand isn't there apparently.

    YOu must be a better googler than me then. There's plenty of hits talking about 64-bit XOR and NOR algorithms in the encryption, but few commercial products that do the 64-bit thing.

    I just cut and pasted your topic heading!! (I also did one just on encrypted hard disks as I know there are some devices that put a standard hard drive into a caddy that contains an encryption engine, but I can't find that. If I do, I'll post a link - I had some leaflets on it..... somewhere!)

    What a difference a day makes!

    Safeboot looks promising now.
