What's the best Encryption/Security software/hardware for USB removable media?
Ideally, I would like something that does not require admin authority from the computer so it can be used on public or corporate machines.
TrueCrypt is an open source (thus verifiable) and well regarded encryption solution.
For my external storage I encrypt the whole drive. Thus anything I store on the whole disk is encrypted, in a manner that it would take the NSA to get past. I can then safely carry or store it anywhere without worrying about about loss of data.
I have used TrueCrypt for many years. It is now up to version 6.1 which uses multiple cores.
The only problem I noticed with TrueCrypt is that if I install it on a USB flash drive ... it will only work on computers that I have ADMIN rights on. This would not be very helpful if I want to bring it to, say a Kinkos computer, to print my documents.
