RE: encryption software for pendrive

["Hayes, Ian" <ihayes () nvcancer org>]

TrueCrypt has a Traveller option that will put the necessary binaries on
the removable media and an autorun.inf file so that it will run
automatically when the drive is plugged in.

I usually use TrueCrypt whenever I want to encrypt something on a
pendrive, but the problem is that you need to have TrueCrypt installed
on any computer that you want to access the encrypted files on.

Does anyone know of a free portable encryption solution?
