Re: encryption software for pendrive

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,

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
