Re: CD Encryption Question

Thanks for the info everyone.  I think I am going to send them it using the flashdrive's encryption.  While GPG seems 
like a nice option, I am not sure the reciever will want to work with it.  The flashdrive does have the ability to do 
256 AES encryption.  I think I'm going to send that.  It seems like it will be less work for them than the alternatives.

Thanks,
Sam

What type of information are you trying to protect?  This sounds like
a good use case for public key crypto.  Have you thought about
encrypting the files with GPG and then writing them to a CD?

Hello,



I recently received a request for data to be sent on an "encrypted CD"  Does
anyone know of a way to do this?  The issue I am running into is that I
don't want the receiver to have to install something like Trucrypt.  I also
don't really want to purchase a product for this purpose.



I did find this product http://www.cypherix.com/cryptainerle/  but have
never heard anything about it, so I'm a little nervous about using it.  My
confidence isn't increased by the fact that the 3rd review posted at the
bottom of the page does not match the features listed by the product.



I asked if we could send them an encrypted flash drive, as we do have some
that have built in encryption support, so it's possible I may be able to go
that route.  I wanted to throw this out there in case they declined the USB.



Thanks,

Sam
