Worried about losing your USB Flash Drive? It seems everyone these days are carrying around USB flash drives, see my blog article here on buying a drive http://tonycossey.blogspot.com/2008/08/usb-flash-drives.html Thus everyone now store lots of sensitive information on the drives in their pocket, which is dangerous if you lose the drive......Unless you are lucky enough to afford the fantastic military grade encryption IRONKEY, a bit like the VERTU of the flash drive industry......Well you can protect yourself using this free software which makes any drive a little like the IRONKEY TRUECRYPT http://www.truecrypt.org/ Truecrypt installs on the Microsoft Windows family, Mac OSX and Linux..........it even can create a encrypted portion of your computer hard disk to store sensitive information on, this makes the files within the drive virtually impossible to recover. You can encrypt a blank USB drive and then only mount the drive with your own password, thus if you lose the usb device nobody else can use it.......it even supports a wide range of high grade encryption algorithms....... The software makes it childs play to manage.....
