Take the data off the CD and put it on a HD, encrypt it on the HD using PGP
or something similar, burn it to a different CD in encrypted format. Destroy
the original CD (microwave 5 seconds - don't breathe the fumes).  WIPE the
HD to DoD using DeClasfy or equivalent (not all utils are created equally),
inlcuding actual data, free space, swap space, unallocated space, etc.

All,

I need to encrypt confidential data on a CD.
What would be the best way of doing it, i.e. which software?


Kevin
