Truecrypt can run without installing it (up to a point, anyway), and as 
such, you can distribute it with your executable and use QProcess to 
interact with it. You could also try to incorporate the relevant parts 
of TC in your own application, as it is open source. That, however, 
seems risky to me, and very hard to support. Programs dealing with 
encryption are hard to get right. Best to leave the implementation to 
those who know what they are doing...
