Hello all.
So here's the predicament. I have a little Kingston USB data traveler 1GB
thumb drive. I love this thing as it's not even the normal pin stick side
flash drive. This thing is literally the size of the pad of your thumb.
It's incredible! Anyway, I have some documents I've typed up both in Text
Edit, as well as a few things I've done in Pages. I also have a few
documents I sometimes open with Numbers which I created in Excel on my
Windows machine. Furthermore, there are some private e-mails with account
details, a few payment receipts, a few legal documents which I won't
disclose the specifics of on list, a few pictures, and maybe a few audio
files. I also have a folder on there with basically all my serial numbers
to the software for Windows, Linux, and the Mac that I've bought over the
years. Plus all of my Windows CD product keys which I own... obviously
legitimately, I'm not stupid... and even my jaws ILM 20 character code.
Obviously the point is, suffice it to say, we're talking, very! sinsitive
data. I'm not so much concerned of password protecting this drive where it
won't mount without a password. Now, granted, that would be really awesome,
I'll give that to you, but I want something even a bit more secure than
that. I'm wonderring if there is a program I can use which will encrypt the
data in such of a way where it could only be readable from my macintosh
system, or for that mind a system which has the valid encryption key/file on
it. This way if my drive was to some how, god forbid, get stolen, all that
could be done is to wipe the drive. There would be no way that the suspect
could get at the data, if they tried.
I also, have my journal on this drive which dates back with entries from the
last 20 years. It's about 600 pages all total. Needless to say, there is
stuff in there, I'd! die! if someone read and found out about. Not that I
got anything per sey to hide, but it is! a journal, and it's thus my!
private thoughts that I don't want others reading, case closed.
Does anyone know how I could get this to work the way I want, or at least
some similar algorithm that would probably suffice?
Chris.
