Anyone have experience with encryption using TrueCrypt for android tablets?

[BirdDad]

How do I mount a truecrypt container on a micro SD card in EDS?
I browse my root directories and choose the SD ones but they don't have my file in them.
Thanks

anyone know?
I am trying to mount an ntfs micro sdcard using paragon then mounting the true crypt container on it with EDS.
I am really getting frustrated with this. I have this wonderful new Galaxy tablet that came with Kitkat on it(so I rooted it). I can't get my containers to work.
Please somebody has to know something about this.
Dose Fuse come with Kitkat or do I have to download it and where from?
Help.

I've never used it, but I did find this article that provides some information that might be helpful.

You may also want to check out this video which seems related to your problem.

Otherwise, Google is your friend.

Thank you
This is nfo I already knew and I have the full version of EDS so I am trying to figure out how to mount ntfs cards to it

You'll need a different app (something like this) to enable you to do that and those typically require root.

It will probably be a lot easier to just use the FAT file system.

I have tried that app and am still trying it, I do have root. The files some of which are >14GB would never fit in a FAT32 storage container that's why I need NTFS. The problem is not the NTFS mounting(I think) but the TC container mounting I think.
It sees the SD card

In fact I am using that app right now
it says:SD Card will be mounted to: /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
but there is no /external_sd folder and I can't find the folder anywhere.
I have root.
I am browsing(using EDS) to the root of the device then trying to find the /mnt/sdcard/external_sd folder but I don't see it anywhere in EDS

I have no trouble watching videos in FAT32 but some of my videos are in full hidef so I need to figure out how to properly use this software.

I just checked to make sure and it is NOT EDS thats messing up it is paragon ntfs mounter and ntfs mounter.
I confirmed that I have root access with root checker.

Since nobody else has mentioned it, one should note that Truecrypt is no longer being developed or supported, and they are not opening up the source for others to take over. So you may want to look for other encryption options.

Granted, Truecrypt has been audited and is very well-coded, so it should last for a while. But it won't be around forever.

Here's a good list of alternatives that someone suggested: http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=1245367

I formated my card to exFAT then created a file container in it with TC and set TC to format an NTFS file. My EDS pro now sees the container and mounts it(sort of, it pops up a message at the bottom that says EDS has admin privilege then pops up again saying that EDS install has crashed), there is a pic of an unlocked padlock in EDS but then I am stuck,I don't know how to browse my files. I think it has to be done in EDS, it shows the container in regular root directories but am unable to get into the container(it sees it).
