SSD to go between Windows and Mac

[shamelin73]

I have searched and there are so many utilities that sound like it would work but the site that I have seen them on seems suspect. I would like to ask you here.
I have a Sandisk 1TB SSD and would like to encrypt it but be able to go from work to home and be able to open on Windows and Mac. I do not like the software that Sandisk has included. It just makes an encrypted folder that can be accessed and deleted. I do not want the file contents to be seen by just plugging in the drive.
