Solved: How to secure USB flashe drive

e_piph_a_ny · 09-Dec-2008, 10:38 PM #1

I'm looking for recommendation to secure/encrypt/password protect a 4 GB Corsair flash drive. Something similar in functionality to the Kingston DataTraveler Secure Privacy Edition.

TIA

Truecrypt is an encryption program that creates encrypted folders or volumes. There is a traveller mode for use with USB sticks.

Hi,Here's the link to TrueCrypt traveler mode. Just to clarify - it's free, Open Source, totally legal to download & use plus very highly regarded.

So lunar and 1002,

Just to clarify, you use truecrypt to secure your usb flash drive? Any negatives?
