Best Software or way to Encrypt your flash drive

[ianferns]

ANyone has suggestions for the best softwares or ways to encrypt flash drives ? I wish to store data on it with an ecryption that not even the government agents or NSA could break into .

Use bitlocker or diskcryptor with 30 characters (combintion of digits, lower case, upper case, space and special characters).
But I don't know whether a government agent or NASA could break it up or not.

Yeah I have heard about Bitlocker. But not sure how much safe is it,incase someone from the security or government agencies get the data

Truecrypt was recommended by Snowden but the devs stopped working on it after he recommended it.

Truecrypt is still great software was long as you have the version before it was made not functional.

Bitlocker is a no. If one is encrypt data on a flash drive, instead of just hiding it, he/she probably has a really good reason to do so. Bitlocker is decent, and it's main problem is the integration with Windows.

OP I would highly recommend that you do the procedure right each time (mounting and safely demounting your flash drive).

I'm not sure if this is true or not, as you'd have to do some research yourself. Although I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Some people already can hack Bitlocer, it's no longer effective
Only truecrypt with strong password is the solution

Um... to encrypt your data. Some people don't want others to have access to their private shit. Maybe he wants to doubly encrypt his bitcoins as well.

Truecrypt was a good software.

A group of researchers have done an audit but have not found any significant exploits. Everything seemed fine until thr developer took off under mysterious circumstances.
He left leaving a message saying that prople should unistall because of security exploits. However, there are a few alternatives that are good too.
