Thread: Best of USB Pendrive Tools

TrueCrypt 6.1a One of the most popular uses of a pendrive is file transfer. That.is, to move files from one computer to another, or to keep important files with you wherever you go. But what happens if the pendrive is stolen or gets lost? You really wouldn't want the data on it to fall into the hands of unauthorized people, be it company docuuments or private files. SU,ch a fate can be avoided by having the pendrive "encrypted". Once encrypted, anyone that tries to use it will be asked for a password, and if that isn't entered, all they will see is unintelligible zeroes and ones with weird filenames. TrueCrypt is an open-source application that does this. It offers multiple encryption algorithms, and different ways to encrypt a'drive. It can encrypt an entire partition or drive, or just create a single file that can be . "mounted" as a virtual encrypted disk.
