I'm looking for encryption

[Strategist01]

Hey there all...

I just recently got a new flash drive, and I know it seems a bit paranoid, but I would like to encrypt it. I was having a looksee with google, and I found this website which seems to offer the best protection : http://www.truecrypt.org/

Is the above a good website? And will I be safe if I were to encrypt mt drive with this, and then put it on another computer which doesn't have it?

Also, I have never done this sort of thing before, so before you start bombarding me with acronyms, please can you help me out with what they mean, etc.?

Thanks in advance.

i have read on the mybb forums that a few ppl use truecrypt...

..i've never used it to give my opinion though

Use cello tape.

Yup, I use truecrypt, very good, you can choose the encryption strength to your liking! I have an encrypted image on my flash drive I use to keep all my passwords on, so if I should loose it, nobody will have my passwords.

I downloaded it, and made a container on my drive...very nice. Out of interest, is AES the strongest encryption to use?

Well, afaik PGP is the best, not sure if they offer a free version for personal use?

I used DriveCrypt a while back. Pretty evil stuff.
