Re: How to secure pendrive ?

Dear all,

thanks a lot for your responses.
Most of you are in favour of truecrypt though some of you have suggessted 
LUCKS. Ok first thing first.

I have gone through truecrypt today. I have found some very cool feature like 
hidden volume and hidden OS. It really looks very very attractive to me. So I 
can now encrypt my first 4 GB with truecrypt and use it as pendribe. No 
problrm. But I like to use the rest of the 4 GB for hidden OS. YES !! hidden 
OS. Now the challange. GRUB has no support to de-crypt the truecrypt 
partition. Hence GRUB will be at the hidden volume to call the OS. Here I 
need one more boot-loader which can decrypt the hidden volume and call GRUB 
to finally boot OS. Is there any bootloader which can be installed at the MBR 
which understand the truecrypt volume ?

Thanks to all of you once again for your suggestion so far.. :-)
