Question: Is there a way (e.g. an app) that allows for PORTABLE encryption of the COMPLETE sdcard and/or specific directories on the sdcard while providing CROSS-COMPATABILITY with Truecrypt/Veracrypt on a Computer? The solution should best be proven to work (no implementational bugs).
--------------------------------------------
Background: In Android M (and I think N) you have the option to either us your sdcard as portable storage or as extended internal. While the first option provides no security what so ever, the latter does render the sdcard useless in case you loose your smartphone (e.g. stolen) or simply want to work with it on a computer from time to time.
For me, neither having a useless sdcard without my smartphone or not being able to save the encryption-container headers myself (like with truecrypt) is an option. Cause if desaster strikes all your data is gone, even if being safeguarded.
As I am sure that there a many security aware users I cannot be the only one looking for this? I've found several apps that offer encryption like sse, crypto ghost etc.... but they do not offer cross-compatibility with a computer.
Thanks.
