Securing a USB Keychain Drive

[Guest]

How do I secure a USB keychain drive? In other words, I would like to take
my USB drive between my home computer (Windows XP Pro - not networked, but
with a secure logon to restrict access), and my work computer (Windows 2000
Pro - networked with a logon to a server). However, if I should accidentally
leave my drive somewhere, how do I prevent someone from examining its
contents? I have already formatted it as NTFS.

Presently this is only done by use of the security features
that come installed on some USB drives, or by moving
encrypted files on them.

Hi

SafeGuard PrivateCrypto might help you out (free for

(we are using their "SafeGuard Easy" product for local hard disk
encryption on all laptops, and we are very satisfied with the product).

The BestCrypt product found at http://www.jetico.com/ also looks
interesting.
