Charles,

Best open source - TrueCrypt
Best vendor solution - IronKey

My two cents worth

Subject: [SECURITY] Encrypted Thumbdrives


Have you looked at a particular product? Have one you really like? 
  
I am wondering what other people have found in looking at USB thumbdrives that have built in encryption and/or have 
utilized software based encryption such as truecrypt that can be included on the drives un-encrypted area. 
  
I am currently demo’ing a SafeStick Business edition thumbdrive. 
I will be looking at a truecrypt solution too. 
  
I thought there had been a discussion about this a while back but I could not find it in the archives. 
  
Any thoughts/suggestions are appreciated.
