I have a bit of data that has to be encrypted and stored into a file so that it can be moved across file systems and possibly OSes. Disk encryption like dm-crypt and a loop device isn't appropriate as it may not exist on another OS.

It's been a very long time since I needed this sort of software. More than a decade ago I used TrueCrypt. I know that VeraCrypt is the current re-incarnationn of the project. Is that still the go-to software for this sort of application? Is there something else that's popular these days?

You could use something like Cryptomator, but it's more focused around cloud. Veracrypt is still the go-to for offline encryption.
