Hi, I have seen some articles that crack the security mechanisms on pen drives and even on hard drives of some manufacturers. Sometimes the encryption the manufacturer talks about is just XOR and is just useless. Also, some dont encrypt data at all, they just rely on some locking mechanism to restrict access. It is always best to use software like TrueCrypt instead of relying on some manufacturer's non standard security mechanisms. And even if you want to use some pen drive with such security, research before relying on it. Regards, On Fri, Mar 28, 2008 at 8:04 PM, Lovena J Reddi <lovenareddi () intnet mu> wrote:
Hi I need an encryption software to encrypt data on pen drive. Kindly note that the a password is needed as soon as the pendrive is connected to a machine. Is there a free software available. Where I can put password, reset it as well as if user forget password admin can decrypt it to access data. Kindly advise. Regards Lovena
