For good advice, we'd need to know how you used it so far and why you chose it. It could be that we'd find reasons not to recommend certain alternatives, then. See also my comment with a list of questions in the linked thread.

Just a note that if you will want to open existing TC files which I supposed you meant the TC containers. The &quot;candidates&quot; (two that I stated earlier) will reuse the TC codebase i.e. using the same TC codes. So if you are looking at replacement due to internal security audit concerns, then it will remains and not addressed your concern. <br />
<br />
Otherwise, most of the candidate for file/folder or container based will need to do some sort of conversion of the format (decrypt TC container and move data to new candidate &quot;container&quot;) to get back the data. Importantly make sure you have your backup verified working before such migration of data.

On linux there is LUKS. (integrated into the kernel, and boot coding for some distro's).

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.

Encryption

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

Security

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
