Greetings,

we're currently searching for a USB memory stick, which provides some kind
of hardware based encryption just like the Kingston DataTraveler Secure
Privacy Edition. Unfortunately, those sticks don't run on non-Windows
systems.

Elsewise it could also be acceptable to have such a device completely
encrypted using a software which runs on both OS X and WinXP - as long as
you can specify not to leave any space on that stick open to public.

Any clues?

Thanks in advance
Timo

I heard about something called "Ironkey". I think you can find them at
Thinkgeek.com

Sounds quite good. Unfortunately, it seems there is no driver support for
Mac OS so far.

Greetings

Truecrypt. Available for WIndows, Mac and Linux. Open source, strong
encryption, features plausible deniability and just about every
feature you could wish for.
