Compusec is not open source, and the free version only does 128 AES.  If
you were to purchase their central management solution (GlobalAdmin
Lite), 256 is an option.  Challenge and response is supposed to be added
to version 5 which is due out soon.  Of course you would need
GlobalAdmin to make use of it.

Compusec is a great product.

Free or not, Compusec is a excellent product. It has been very stable
for over the last few years. And worked fine on various computers I
had, including SCSI based workstation. The only 2 drawbacks I have
seen with compusec are:
1) Lack of Challenge/Response password recovery mechanism. This is
very useful in large roll-out of any FDE solution. Utimaco and
Pointsec have challenge/response based password recovery.
2) The encryption is limited to 128bit AES. Some institutions mandate
256bit AES.
