Re: encryption software for pendrive

["Razi Shaban" <razishaban () gmail com>]

I usually use TrueCrypt whenever I want to encrypt something on a
pendrive, but the problem is that you need to have TrueCrypt installed
on any computer that you want to access the encrypted files on.

Does anyone know of a free portable encryption solution?
