as you know portable devices can get stolen or lost...
this is a good solution to protect your digital information.

This little software is amazing.

you can create encrypted folders on your disk-on-key / HDD /etc

Main Features:

• Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk.
  
  
• Encrypts an entire partition or storage device such as USB flash drive or hard drive.
  
  
• Encrypts a partition or drive where Windows is installed (pre-boot authentication).
  
  
• Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent.
  
  
• Provides two levels of plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password:
  
  1) Hidden volume (steganography) and hidden operating system.
  
  2) No TrueCrypt volume can be identified (volumes cannot be distinguished from random data).
  
  
• Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Serpent, and Twofish. Mode of operation: XTS.

  Further information regarding features of the software may be found in the documentation.
