Hi All

I had been personally using Steganos Safe from www.steganos.com [based
on AES, with 256-bit-long codes] and this seems to giving pretty good
results to me.

They have also come out with Portable safe to safeguard data in the
drive sticks. One other feature in their latest version is you can
open the safe or the secure drive with your ActiveSync capable mobile
fone with Bluetooth

regards

Vijay
