DiskCryptor represents a useful encryption solution designed to allow users encrypt or mount all the partitions. The main criteria for open-source software is the availability of its source code under one of the open source licenses.
The only alternative to DiskCryptor that has comparable features is TrueCrypt. There are other alternatives with similar functionality, but they are fully proprietary ones, which makes them unacceptable to use for protection of confidential data.
Originally, DiskCryptor was conceived as a replacement for DriveCrypt Plus Pack and PGP Whole Disk Encryption (WDE). Now, however, the aim of the development of the project is to create the best product in its category.
Moreover, in the future, considerable effort will be devoted to the creation of detailed documentation, explaining the internal mechanics of the program, which would be the best confirmation and demonstration of its security.
