Protects data on portable USB drives with a password protection and encryption for enhanced security.
USB Flash Security hides and protects files on your USB drive and encrypts them -- making them only available after inputting a master password.
When you install USB Flash Security, just choose the location of a flash device that you would like to protect and click Install. The program will then ask you for a password and a password reminder.
To protect the data on your drive, this application creates two separate partitions on the flash drive. The hidden partition will be the largest and where your protected files and folders are stored while the other partition (very small) stores the program which asks you for the passport.
The program is small though very effective. USB Flash Security is very useful for those prone to losing the cell phones or other portable devices. Just make sure you create backups of your data every now-and-then. Also be sure to back up ALL of your data before proceeding encrypting your data with USB Flash Security!
