How To: encrypt your USB flash drive

Being a paranoid and all, I decided to move all my sensitive data onto an USB flash drive, but that wasn`t enough. What if I lost it or someone used it while I taking a wanking tea break? Solution: DATA ENCRYPTION!

After a few Google searches I found a nice (not so) little blog post that explains how to encrypt your files on a flash drive. The step in which it says to ‘create a volume’ refers actually to creating a container file. The post was made 3 years ago and I guess the software got changed a bit during this time. If the post gets deleted for some reason, you can find it frozen here.

The only inconvenience I found is that if you unplug the flash drive without unmounting it from TrueCrypt the files can still be accessed because of the temp file.

Here’s a nice website if you wanna find use some pretty icons for the USB drive. This is my account, poke me to send you some icon packs if you need some.
